"Quoth the Raven nevermore" The author of this book-Charles Cory was an enigma. He is principally known for his expertise and authorship on ornithology. Cory"s Shearwater is named after him. He was a golfer at Olympic level. So his sole foray into the world of supernatural fiction is something of an oddity. Perhaps, therefore it is fitting that Cory has written a superb collection of eighteen ghostly and weird stories to chill and thrill the avid enthusiast of supernatural fiction. Within its pages the reader will find mummies, ghosts and ghouls-many with a South and North American pre-Colombian flavour. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.
