Horror Pain, Barry: Here and Hereafter. v1. 17 Nov 2022

[GrannyGrump]

An intriguing collection of stories, including “The Four-Fingered Hand” and “The Unfinished Game”. You will encounter hauntings and visitations of unusual sorts, grim events that seem to have a rational explanation (but not quite), glimpses into the darker corners of the human heart — but also some tales in a lighter mood, including the fable-like “Girl with the Beautiful Hair”.

==============
Barry Eric Odell Pain (28 Sep. 1864 – 05 May 1928) was an English journalist, poet, humorist and writer. During his lifetime, he was perhaps best known as a writer of parody and lightly humorous stories, but now is also noted for his tales touched with fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. He also wrote stories of mystery and suspense. His humor has been characterized by some modern critics as “a surreal forerunner to Monty Python.”
