Every story here concerns a revenant: someone who comes back in spirit or in body to old places, old selves or old emotions. Quiller-Couch draws on Hawthorne’s notebooks, Cornish history and the sea, from “The Room of Mirrors” and “A Pair of Hands” to “Prisoners of War,” based on two St. Ives men held captive between 1804 and 1814.
Quietly eerie fiction from the Cornish man of letters known as Q, ideal for an autumn evening. Download the free EPUB.
