His speciality was making his readers laugh and he was delightfully termed the editor in charge of the Department of Humour for all three publications. This job profile no doubt gave him enormous satisfaction and he went on to edit both The Metropolitan Magazine and Puck which was the foremost American humour magazine at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century. It is by no means unusual for those with a taste for the weird and ghostly to also enjoy humour, for often is the sharp intake of a breath of fright followed by a burst of laughter-if only in relief? However, John Kendrick Bangs could combine both the other worldly and genuine satire in his stories to create truly humorous supernatural tales. The 'Associated Shades' novellas that appear in volume two of this Leonaur three volume collection are a good example; in them we follow real (but deceased) historical personalities as they 'live again' and join forces with famous fictional characters in incredible adventures on the banks of the River Styx. Although Bangs always looked for the opportunity to raise a smile in his stories readers may be assured that they can also be genuinely chilling. John Kendrick Bangs is a true 'original' of supernatural fiction and this special Leonaur collection, available in softcover and hardback with dust jacket, will enable collectors and aficionados alike to read and own this unique talent in an attractive matched set. \u003cbr\u003e Volume two contains four novellas of the strange and unusual-'A House-Boat on the Styx, ' 'The Pursuit of the House-Boat, ' 'The Enchanted Typewriter' and 'Mr. Munchausen.'\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Leonaur Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50330076676370,"sku":"9780857063281","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c9a2cdc9-fcb2-47d8-8672-98e7339d8561.jpg?v=1744206138"},{"product_id":"the-collected-supernatural-and-weird-fiction-of-edward-bulwer-lytton-volume-1-including-one-novel-asmodeus-at-large-one-novella-falkland-ten-9780857064806","title":"The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Edward Bulwer Lytton-Volume 1: Including One Novel 'Asmodeus at Large, ' One Novella 'Falkland, ' Ten","description":"Volume one of a collection of weird tales by a Victorian master of the gothic and occult \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his time, the aristocratic Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1st Baron Lytton) was one of the most popular and prolific writers in the English language as well as a notable administrator who held the post of secretary of state for the colonies under Derby's government during the Victorian era. Today, few remember his works or indeed how he has left his mark on the language. For example we owe him acknowledgement for the expressions, 'the pen is mightier than the sword, ' 'the great unwashed' and for the infamous opening line of his novel, Paul Clifford, 'It was a dark and stormy night.' This last contribution has inspired humorists for decades and even a writing competition. However, it would be unfair to Bulwer-Lytton to consider him solely by these diversions. Here was a well regarded writer of poetry and stage plays, of historical novels, mysteries, romances, science fiction and of excellently crafted tales of the supernatural and the occult-the subject of this special four volume collection from Leonaur. Several of his works were converted into operas and Bulwer-Lytton was also the editor of popular magazines, The New Monthly and The Monthly Chronicle. It is not uncommon for prolific writers to turn their talents to a variety of genres and in any event Bulwer-Lytton belonged to the golden age of gothic and supernatural writing in which there were several highly regarded authors whose contributions remain cherished to this day. In his retrospective view of the very finest writers of ghost stories, the author M. R. James (widely accepted as a master of the genre himself) made special note of Bulwer-Lytton's, 'The Haunters and the Haunted.' However, the author's particular interest in the occult found expression in his writings on the bizarre and many of his most chilling tales have this at their core.\u003cbr\u003e The first volume of this Leonaur four volume collection includes a novel Asmodeus at Large, a novella 'Falkland, ' ten short stories and two ballads of the strange and unusual.\u003cbr\u003e This substantial collection is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket for collectors.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Leonaur Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50330077593874,"sku":"9780857064806","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b51f2d12-c446-4513-8b25-73764dc6bd75.jpg?v=1727790722"},{"product_id":"anno-dracula-9780857680839","title":"Anno Dracula","description":"\"Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate.
