Vengeful spirits, mysterious revenants and haunted objects stalk the pages of Wilkie Collins' short fiction, and yet his reputation as a sensation and detective novelist has long overshadowed his inventive contributions to the ghost story genre. Drawing from across the writer's career, Xavier Aldana Reyes presents eight stories of the strange and uncanny to celebrate this lesser-known side of the Collins' imaginative and ground-breaking fiction, guiding the reader into a candlelit night in which unearthly forces - and inescapable doom - lie in wait.
Biography (Wilkie Collins)
Wilkie Collins, geb. 1824 in London als ältester Sohn des Landschaftsmalers William Collins und 1889 gestorben, hatte zunächst die juristische Laufbahn eingeschlagen, bis er beschloss, das Aufdecken von Kriminalfällen und Geheimnissen ausschließlich literarisch in Szene zu setzen. Er schrieb neben seinen Kurzgeschichten und Theaterstücken über 30 Romane. Seine heute berühmtesten Werke 'Der Monddiamant', in dem der erste Detektiv in der englischen Literatur auftritt, und 'Die Frau in Weiß', ein poetischer, mystisch-mysteriöser Thriller, fanden bereits beim zeitgenössischen Publikum größten Beifall.
