Sewn signatures, printed on 125gsm acid-free paper, and bound by Atheneum Press in black wibalin cloth stamped in silver, with a silk ribbon marker and head and tailbands. 300 copies.

Contents:
'Introduction' by Richard Dalby, 'The Buckross Ring', ' "Splidges" ', 'Mr Tookey', 'The Farm', 'Tea at Maggie Reynolds's', 'Breakdown', 'The Gates', 'Crabtree's', 'Death of the Gardener', 'Orpheus', 'Sea Air', 'Lobsters', 'The Doll', 'Let Me Go', 'Danse Macabre', 'The House That Wouldn't Keep Still', 'Light Above the Lake', 'Afterword: The Short Story'.

L.A.G. Strong may be little-known today, but in the mid twentieth century he was considered one of the most popular, versatile and acclaimed writers of his generation. The author of novels, plays, poems, criticism, biography and film scripts, he wrote short stories with 'the passion of a poet' in a closely-knit style with brilliant bursts of description.

Throughout his life Strong was a firm believer in the paranormal, experiencing many psychic phenomena, which inevitably inspired much of his supernatural fiction. He took his own strange and vivid dreams and transcribed them into enigmatic narratives and characters like the unearthly Bibi in 'The Buckross Ring'.

The supernatural is a recurring theme in Strong's varied œuvre, and his short stories in the genre can be found in his own collections from Doyle's Rock in 1925 through to Lady Cynthia Asquith's Second and Third Ghost Books (1952 and 1955). In The Buckross Ring and Other Stories of the Strange and Supernatural L.A.G. Strong's atmospheric, strange and supernatural stories are collected together in one volume for the first time.
