Collects Wakefield's "introduction" and eighteen stories from the original 1940 Jenkins and expanded 1946 Arkham House editions. Adds three stories by Wakefield that were not previously collected with his weird fiction and an introduction by Barbara Roden.

"Wakefield was a consistently competent writer who took up where M R James left off in extending the core of the British tradition through the period between the wars."- Barron (ed), Horror Literature
