Short Fiction Favenc, Ernest: Uncollected Tales, Volume 3, 19 Dec 2022

[Pulpmeister]

English-born Australian explorer, poet and author, 1845-1908. From the 1870s he wrote many short stories, possibly as many as 300, all fairly short as they were published in newspapers. Three volumes were published in his lifetime, barely making a dent in his output. He also wrote several novels, and well-received histories of Australian exploration and explorers. Some stories were first published as by "Dramingo", later republished under his own name.

The range of genres is considerable: he had a taste for macabre, horror, supernatural and fantasy; also humour, romance and adventure. They are almost all set in Australia, very much of the 19th century, when there were still vast blank spaces on the map, and bush myths and legends abounded.
