A collection of nineteenth-century American magazine fiction by John Hay, John William De Forest, Harriet Prescott Spofford and others. The title story unfolds in letters, and around it are tales of dreams and their victims, a cold hand, a marquis caught in a tornado, the three-part ‘Under False Colors’, a New Year’s Eve tale of a red fox and an old sailor’s resurrection on the Mexican Gulf.
A varied sampler of the popular storytelling that filled American periodicals of the Victorian era. Download the free EPUB.
