BERNARD CAPES. SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY HUGH LAMB

The Black Reaper. Tales of Terror by Bernard Capes

Great Britain, Equation, 1989. 1st Paperback Edition, Binding: Soft Cover, Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾ tall 1853361216 Paperback Paperback. Mark to front cover from removal of old label. Slight wear to top and bottom edge of spine. Bernard Capes (1854-1918) was one of the most original and imaginative writers of his day, and yet within a decade of his death his work was virtually forgotten. Every story in this collection bears the stamp of Capes's fertile and deeply pessimistic imagination - from Napoleonic terrors and haunted typewriters to marble hands that come to life and plagye-stricken villagers haunted by a scythe-wielding ghost - and taken together confirm Capes's standing as a first-rate master of the macabre. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
