This volume contains the weird stories of May Sinclair (1863-1946), a British writer whose many novels and tales established her as a leading figure in English literature in her time. Her two collections of weird tales, Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor and Other Stories (1931), contain a number of works that feature her central literary concerns: an emphasis on interpersonal relationships and an intense focus on the shifting psychological states of her characters. Sinclair utilized such central weird motifs as the ghost, the revenant, and psychic transference to underscore her keen insight into human frailty. The Classics of Gothic Horror series seeks to reprint novels and stories from the leading writers of weird fiction over the past two centuries or more. Ever since the Gothic novels of the late 18th century, weird fiction has been a slender but provocative contribution to weird fiction. Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, the Victorian ghost story writers, the "titans" of the early twentieth century (Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft), the Weird Tales writers, and many others contributed to the development and enrichment of weird fiction as a literary genre, and their work deserves to be enshrined in comprehensive, textually accurate editions.
The Zaffre Book of Occult Fiction, the third volume of the books of occult fiction of many colours, brings together twenty-one tales, dating from 1908-1937, from the occult revival of the British Isles. Including both well-known figures, such as Dion Fortune and Algernon Blackwood, and lesser-known practitioners, such as Ethel Archer and the eccentric Prince Immanuel of Jerusalem, the present instalment is sure to fall within the sphere of beatific approval of not only seekers, adherents and occult enthusiasts, but also Masters and Ascendants. Containing a varied and luxuriant array of stories, about visions and hauntings, mystical agencies and seers, The Zaffre Book of Occult Fiction, edited by Brendan Connell, is an indispensable addition to any library of the supernatural and occult.
