Description

The brilliant and scaryThe Beast with Five Fingers, is the first entry in this mammoth collection of strange and chilling short stories by W. F. Harvey, an unjustly neglected author of supernatural tales. This unique volume demonstrates clearly that Harvey is one of the masters of the genre. Along with such classics asAugust Heat, which concerns two strangers whose individual fates become inextricably entwined in a nightmare scenario and the gruesome school yarn,The Dabblers, you will find such minor masterpieces of the uncanny asThe Man Who Hated Aspidistras,Sarah Bennet’s Possession,The Habeas Corpus Cluband many more stories which refreshingly avoid the cliche while at the same time creating that wonderfully eerie sense of fear.
