About this book
A scientist and scholar by trade, Grant Allen was a prodigious writer who dabbled in many different genres over the course of his career, playing a significant role in the development of both detective fiction and science fiction. This collection of short stories runs the gamut in terms of theme and subject matter, but all of the tales highlight Allen's fascination with the weird, mysterious and uncanny.
