Rumors of the Marvelous
RUMORS OF THE MARVELOUS is a brilliant collection of 14 short "ghost stories" by a contemporary master of the fantastic. Previously released as a limited edition hardcover in Great Britain and a finalist for The British Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction Collection, RUMORS OF THE MARVELOUS finally sees it's first release in a U.S. edition. With stories ranging from horror, hints of sci-fi, and fantasy to epic poetry, Peter Atkins delivers all in a style uniquely his own.

Excellent collection of weird short fiction.
14 short stories which are mostly reprints with one original to this edition.
Well worth the effort!

A wonderful collection of short stories. So beautifully written, it makes me feel foolish for not reading it earlier.
