The Weird Tales of John Kendrick Bangs — John Kendrick Bangs

This first publication in the Wimbourne Collections series concerns the weird, supernatural and ghostly stories of John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922). For the first time in print, twenty-seven of Bangs' supernatural and strange stories have been collected together; taken from his collections The Water Ghost and Others (1894), Ghosts I Have Met and Some Others (1898) and Over the Plum-Pudding (1901). These stories are a welcome and refreshing component of the genre of Victorian weird fiction. Some are about ghosts, some about fairies, one is about time-travel, many are satirical; but they are all 'weird tales'.
