The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont (1906) is a collection of lively,
enjoyable stories about a French detective resident in London.
Whether dealing with a gang of anarchists in 'The Siamese Twin of a
Bomb-Thrower' or flirting with the supernatural in 'The Ghost with
the Club-Foot', the resourceful M. Valmont rarely loses his
sang-froid and self-confidence. He may not always catch the
criminal but his sense of style and Poirot-like conceit remain
intact.
This collection of short, action-filled stories of the Old West's
most egregiously bad family-based gangs caught in the act of
mayhem, distraction, murder, and highway robbery, includes famous
names like the James brothers and lesser known families just as the
Deautremonts, the Newtons, and many more. The book will include
archival illustrations and photographs of the shady characters and
the scenes of their crimes.
A collection of rare horror stories that will thrill fans of
classic writers such as M. R. James, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe
and E. F. Benson. Jerome K. Jerome's reputation as a humorist,
renowned for his comic novel Three Men in a Boat, has thrown into
undeserved obscurity his fine efforts in the ghost story genre.
Three Men in the Dark collects Jerome's major horror stories,
together with a selection from two of his friends with whom he
founded the magazines The Idler and Today - the journalist Robert
Barr and the humorist Barry Pain. Like Jerome, their stories of
terror and the supernatural have been overlooked for many years.
Edited and introduced by veteran anthologist Hugh Lamb, this new
edition includes as an extra bonus the long-lost novelette, 'The
Mystery of Black Rock Creek'. Written in five parts by Jerome K.
Jerome, Barry Pain, Eden Phillpotts, E. F. Benson and Bram Stoker's
brother-in-law Frank Frankfort Moore, it rounds off one of the most
unusual and entertaining anthologies of the macabre of recent
years.
