Description
As a scriptwriter for the BBC, John Keir Cross (1914-1967) adapted classic horror tales by masters like M. R. James, Bram Stoker, and Ambrose Bierce into chilling radio programs. And with the eighteen stories in his collection The Other Passenger (1944), Keir Cross demonstrates that he deserves a place alongside those authors as a writer of highly original and effective macabre tales.With a wide range of themes and styles, ranging from traditional ghost stories to contes cruels, black humor, show more tales of dark fantasy and surreal nightmare, and perhaps the best story about a ventriloquist and his dummy ever written, there are stories here to suit the tastes of any connoisseur of horror and weird fiction. show lessTags

- Disambiguation notice
- Do not confuse or combine the original The Other Passenger with the paperback reprint Stories from The Other Passenger, which contains onyl a selection of stories from the original. This is easy to do, as the co... (show all)ver of the paperback has "Stoies from" printed reeeeal small so that at first glance its title appears to be just The Other Passenger.
