A complete volume of the Nobel Prize-winning writer's fantastical pieces ranges from traditional ghost stories to works of psychological horror and includes the works "The Phantom Rickshaw," "The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes," and "The Mark of the Beast."
Rudyard Kipling is one of those timeless writers of the Victorian-Edwardian era that is still great 100 years later. This book of his Horror & Fantasy genre' stories is a great addition to any Kipling collection.
Please take into consideration that what we today call "Horror & Fantasy" wasn't the same back in Mr. Kipling's day. Instead of the gore-fest & the waving of spells by wizards & witches, it carries more on a more psychological line of thought. An example being
"The Phantom Rickshaw".
