Strange Tales by Rudyard Kipling
Some six or seven feet above the port bulwarks, framed in fog, and as utterly unsupported as the full moon, hung a Face. It was not human, and it certainly was not animal, for it did not belong to this earth as known to man'Rudyard Kipling, celebrated author of The Jungle Book, the Just So Stories and other entertaining fictions, was also a master of the short story in which he was able to combine the strange and unnerving in order to draw the reader into the world of his own dark imaginings. This collection presents the best of these strange tales in which ghosts, monsters and inexplicable happenings abound.From the exotic and magical locale of India, to the leafy suburbs of England and then to the blood-soaked trenches of the First World War, Kipling provides us with a chilling array of experiences and images which will linger long in the memory.Contents:IntroductionThe Mark of the BeastThe Return of ImrayThe Phantom RickshawThe Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes'They'In the Same BoatThe Dog HerveyThe House SurgeonThe Wish HouseA Matter of Fact'Swept and Garnished'Mary PostgateA Madonna of the Trenches'At the End of the Passage'The Bisara of PooreeThe Lost LegionThe Dream of Duncan ParrennessThe Tomb of His AncestorsBy Word of MouthMy Own True Ghost Story| SKU | Unavailable |
