The Night Wire by Aaron Worth

Tracing a fiction of speculation and fear from the motion photography of the 1890s to 1950s television, this new collection presents seventeen tales of haunted and uncanny media from a range of writers inspired by its ghastly potential, including Marjorie Bowen, H. Russell Wakefield, Mary Treadgold and J. B. Priestley.
Aaron Worth is professor of Rhetoric at Boston University. He has edited the new edition of Randalls Round for the Tales of the Weird series, and was the author of Imperial Media, a study of how advances in media and technology shaped the British literary imagination in the late nineteenth century.
