These six tales, assembled and introduced by Jack Adrian, have remained out of print since their initial publication as many as ninety years ago—both the Maugham and the Buchan qualify as 'lost' stories, since neither appears in their respective author's bibliographies. Elegantly told by some of the finest writers of the century, the tales in Annual Macabre 1998 make perfect reading for dark winter nights.
