About This Item
New York: Hippocampus Press, 2017. Trade paperback, New,. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2017. Trade paperback, New, 350 pp. "In his forty-year career as a critic and editor of weird fiction, Joshi has had occasion to study many of the leading writers of fantasy and horror fiction, and this book embodies some of his most provocative discussions on weird writers over the past century or more. The "golden age" of weird fiction ranged from about 1880 to 1940, and Joshi studies such leading writers as Ambrose Bierce and Bram Stoker, as well as little-known but fascinating figures such as Edna W. Underwood and Gertrude Atherton. Bierce's pungent political satires-rarely discussed by critics-are analyzed in detail, and we learn of both the lives and the writings of such pioneering writers of ghostly fiction as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and E. Nesbit." This is a print-on-demand title.
