Book Description
Dunsany is a visionary, and these are stories as well as trips of extravagant delivered in lovely Jacobean language. It is difficult to depict the progression of the account and control of the language with a couple of confined models, however here is an extract that exhibits the secret and manners of speaking present in his composition. The tales are breezy and whimsical. They are about powerful whirlpools, mechanical mythical serpents, callous Wild Things, and sins that appear as canines. Here and there they are innocent and a small piece liberal, close to expanded fantasies; however frequently what is on a superficial level a basic dream ends up being a knife enclosed by strips. "The Doom of La Traviata," for instance, is a mourn for the destiny of heathens - that they are rebuffed despite the fact that numerous pieces of their spirit are lovely.

Book Description
Lovecraft's 'Supernatural horror in literature', first published in 1927, is a historical survey of horror literature, with insights into the nature, development and history of the weird tale. Lovecraft discusses horror writing in the Renaissance, the first Gothic novels of the late 18th century, the revolutionary importance of Edgar Allen Poe, the work of figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce and William Hope Hodgson and the four 'modern masters' of the time - Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood and M.R. James. In this annotated edition, S.T. Joshi has provided commentary on many points.

Book Description
The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories is the third book by Irish fantasy writer Lord Dunsany, considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula LeGuin and others. It was first published in hardcover by George Allen & Sons in October, 1908, and has been reprinted a number of times since. Issued by the Modern Library in a combined edition with A Dreamer's Tales as A Dreamer's Tales and Other Stories in 1917. The book is a series of short stories, some of them linked by Dunsany's invented pantheon of deities who dwell in Pegana, which were the focus of his earlier collections The Gods of Pegana and Time and the Gods. One of the stories, "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth," was afterwards (1910) published by itself as a separate book, a now very-rare "Art-and-Craft" style limited edition
