Wallace, Edgar: The Edgar Wallace Collection Vol 8; v1
 

Edgar Wallace was a prolific writer of short stories, often in the form of a series featuring the same characters and following a somewhat porous overall arc. Many of these series were collected and published many years ago: The Brigand (1927); Chick (1923); and so on.

Collections of non-series short stories were also published many years ago, but these were often assembled in a rather slapdash manner with a lot of overlapping and repetition of stories.

But there were many stories published in magazines and newspapers that were never collected; even whole series of short stories. In these 10 volumes I have endeavoured to collect together the Edgar Wallace short story output by combining the many overlapping collections, eliminating duplications, and adding many stories never gathered together between covers.

Non-series stories are collected in this volume, and the novella The Terror.
