<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Katharine Tynan is not a name immediately associated with the supernatural. However, like many other writers of the early twentieth century, she made numerous forays into literature of the ghostly and macabre, and throughout her career produced verse and prose that conveys a remarkable variety of eerie themes, moods, and narrative forms.</p><p><br></p><p>From her early, elegiac stories, inspired by legends from the West of Ireland, to pulpier efforts featuring grave-robbers and ravenous rats, Tynan displays an eye for weird detail, compelling atmosphere, and a talent for rendering a broad palette of uncanny effects.</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Death Spancel and Others</em> is the first collection to showcase Tynan's tales of supernatural events, prophecies, curses, apparitions, and a pervasive sense of the ghastly.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"Of remarkably high literary quality . . . a great collection recommended to any good fiction lover." </em>-<em> </em><strong>Hellnotes</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>"[Tynan's] fiction is of a high standard, crafted in relatively simple yet still lyrical prose . . . a very assured craftswoman of the supernatural tale." </em>-<em> </em><strong>Supernatural Tales</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>"Lovers of late Victorian and Edwardian ghost fiction will assuredly adore the restrained literary quality of these tales, shining golden, dust-mote beams of waning sunlight across forgotten rooms of half-glimpsed tenants." </em>-<em> </em><strong>The Pan Review</strong></p><p><br></p><br>
