THE HASHISH MAN: And Other Stories - by Lord Dunsany - Collection of 25 Macabre Tales


THE HASHISH MAN: And Other Stories
By Lord Dunsany

Collection of Short Stories with an Exotic or Macabre Flare

Beyond The Fields We Know...
Lord Dunsany is often referred to as a major inspiration to H. P. Lovecraft and J.R.R. Tolkien - In this collection of twenty-five short stories, Lord Dunsany confirms his place in early twentieth century literature as a master of the macabre, fantasy worlds and strange fiction genres as he weaves together fanciful tales of intrigue and strange adventures in exotic lands - other stories in the collection depict grim and macabre visions of imaginary worlds of bizarre horror...

Lord Dunsany a.k.a. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett: The 18th Baron Dunsany, was born in London in 1878 and lived in Ireland until his death in 1957.
