Strange Tales from the Strand Magazine

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11116 ratings)

Description:Containing twenty-nine stories of the weird and uncanny, all originally published in the Strand, this collection is an enthralling mix of horror and the supernatural, unnatural disasters, madness, and revenge. We read of a germ that turned the world blind in Edgar Wallace's "The Black Grippe." In "A Sense of the Future," the world supply of oil gives out, cars become obsolete, and after three months we have returned to the days of horse-drawn carriages. In other tales, a camera takes pictures of the future, and a 1971 newspaper is pushed through a mail slot forty years earlier. With spine-tingling stories from the likes of Sapper, Graham Greene, D.H. Lawrence, and Arthur Conan Doyle, and a comic fantasy by H.G. Wells, as well as two tales from the children's writer E. Nesbit, Strange Tales from the Strand provides a rich collection for all lovers of the macabre.CONTENTSAll But Empty (1947) by Graham GreeneLord Beden's Motor (1901) by Harris BurlandThe Tarn (1923) by Hugh WalpoleResurgam (1915) by Rina RamsayThe Railway Carriage (1931) by F.
