The Hut and Other Stories of Dread

Oswell Blakeston

 

Oswell Blakeston (1907–1985), though one of the great British masters of short horror and supernatural fiction, has never before had these tales collected. Here, for the first time, the bulk of his output in the genre is brought together, including numerous extremely hard to find pieces. Added to this are two appendices, the subject of which is the artist and occultist Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956), who Blakeston was closely associated with.

The book is offered in two editions: a standard hardcover in an edition of 250 copies, and a deluxe, leather-bound edition of 20 copies.
