These stories cemented O’Brien’s legacy, demonstrating his mastery of the genre and his ability to craft unsettling, imaginative narratives that have endured through time.This is volume three of a three-volume set of Fitz-James O’Brien’s fiction and poetry, the most comprehensive collection of his horror and supernatural writings to date.
