Bernard Capes

Lost Baggage

Overlooked weird tales

Thanks to the efforts of scholars, anthologists and publishers (E.F. Bleiler, Hugh Lamb, Equation Chillers and Ash-Tree Press deserving much of this credit), the supernatural fiction of Bernard Capes has gained the ranking it deserves alongside work of the other Edwardian masters of the ghost story. Admittedly, not all of his stories rank in this echelon, but then neither do all the stories of Blackwood, James, Machen, etc. Any writer who works over an extended period of time leaves behind an "uneven" legacy. The recent Ash-Tree Press edition of Capes (The Grim Reaper, 1998) gathered many of his best stories but unaccountably left out many others (including all material from Bag and Baggage, of which Bleiler calls, "All in all, probably Capes' best collection." And the fact remains that even the minor work of a major author (major in this genre) deserves to be available for study and enjoyment. From the six collections published during Capes' lifetime, the Thomas Loring edition selects 26 supernatural and fantastic stories, none of which have appeared in other recent editions.

PLANNED CONTENTS:

· 26 fantastic stories from previous collections, not reprinted in any recent editions

· first two chapters of his horror novel The Mill of Silence (1897)

· any uncollected stories from periodicals (we're still looking)

· posthumously published tribute by G. K. Chesterton

· critical introduction
