This collection of strange tales centers on the concept of death, dying, and the afterlife. These stories are not meant to be scary, in the traditional sense, but rather disturbing and even thought provoking. Many of these are written by easily recognizable authors, such as Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and Rudyard Kipling, and others are by more obscure writers from the same era. Also included in this volume are ten original pictures from the Cemetery Photography gallery of Osie Turner. They all appear beautifully on both color and grayscale readers. Contents include: The Dead Valley by Ralph Adams Cram August Heat by William Fryer Harvey The Altar of the Dead by Henry James The Highwaymen by Lord Dunsany The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe They by Rudyard Kipling From the Dead by Edith Nesbit The Satyr by Alma Newton The Wood of the Dead by Algernon Blackwood The Return by Walter de la Mare

The Altar of the Dead And Other Morbid Tales

Osie Turner

This collection contains the bulk of Alma Newton’s work, as well as the only biography available for the obscure author. Newton wrote mystic fiction, with a touch of romanticism. Her style is particularly unique; all of her strange stories have dream-like quality that treads the borderlands between reality and the ethereal. The collection concludes with the only biography ever written about the life of Alma Newton; the biography includes rare photographs.
