Unknown Author

4.9/5 (25318 ratings)

Description:In a 1924 letter, Lovecraft recounts a book-buying spree from which his buddy Frank Belknap Long brought home The Thing in the Woods, a "new" horror novel by Harper Williams. Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi has cited this potboiler about a werewolf and its slightly more human brother on the loose in rural Pennsylvania as a possible influence on Lovecraft's tale of an extradimensional entity and its slightly more human brother on the loose in rural New England. Bibliophiles have long presumed Williams an obscure American writer whose only novel was published in 1924. In fact, The Thing in the Woods was first published in England in 1913, the fifth novel by Margery Williams, a British writer who spent her school years in Pennsylvania Dutch country. The American edition not only appeared under a pseudonym, modestly revised---it also failed to acknowledge that in 1922 Wiliams, under her married name, Bianco, published the children's classic, The Velveteen Rabbit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
