Bdent in making his bow to another public thousands of miles across the sea, cousins and Allies though they be, especially when as well he is breaking entirely new ground in fiction, and essaying a subject of strange interest and peculiar fascination as yet tmtouched, so far as he is aware, by any other weaver of tales romantic almost beyond the boimds of human credulity. I need, therefore, hardly say what a pleasure it is to me to cross the Atlantic in print, if not in person. My tale, such as it is, boasts no hero in the conventional sense of the term in fiction possibly not even a protagonist, as the Greeks used to style the principal actor.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a spine-chilling mystery that unfolds on the Brighton Road in England during the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around a series of unexplained disappearances, beginning with a young couple, the Bolsovers, who vanish without a trace from their car. Months later, a similar incident occurs, involving a wealthy young nobleman and a popular actress, further deepening the enigma. The author skillfully interweaves newspaper clippings, personal accounts, and police reports to create a sense of authenticity and immediacy. The story draws upon the rich tapestry of Eastern European and American folklore, exploring themes of the uncanny and the supernatural. As the investigation progresses, it becomes evident that the disappearances are not random occurrences but are linked by a sinister force operating beyond the realm of conventional understanding. Through meticulous documentation and a gripping narrative, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the boundaries between reality and the unknown, leaving readers to ponder the enduring mysteries that lie just beyond our grasp.
