Produktbeschreibung
Roman Catholics and other Christians mark All Souls' Day, a day of prayer and rememberance for the faithfully deceased, on November 2. By offering prayers, intercessions, alms, and cemetery visits, people can acquire indulgences for the miserable souls in purgatory.Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) was one of the most popular and prolific English authors of his time, best known for his historical novels and children's novels. But it was in the realm of the macabre and the supernatural that Walpole was at his best, and this collection of sixteen tales contains many of his best, including the classic werewolf tale "Tarnhelm"; the often anthologized 'The Little Ghost'; "La neve", a chilling story of revenge from beyond the grave; and perhaps the highlight of the collection, "The Silver Mask", which one reviewer called "a masterpiece, a classic example of how a tale can be truly terrifying and spooky without ghosts and with the slightest hint of the supernatural."The sixteen stories in Walpole's book all achieve a high level of quality, and they are all differentiated by the distinctive literary excellence that may be expected in his writing.

Autorenporträt
Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) was an English novelist. He was the son of an Anglican clergyman, intended for a career in the church but drawn instead to writing. Among those who encouraged him were the authors Henry James and Arnold Bennett. His skill at scene-setting and vivid plots, as well as his high profile as a lecturer, brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. He was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s but has been largely neglected since his death.
