 F. M. TownsendA selection from the Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News. Walter Herries Pollock - The Ghost at the Lyceum: (6 December 1884). A phantom severed head, sat in the lap of a lady in the third row. Walter Herries Pollock - The Spectre Swordsman: (3 December 1887). Haunting at a Welsh country house. To better the ghost at swordplay may not be to your advantage. F. P. - The Trainer's Ghost Story: (17 December 1892). Squire Robert's obsession with horse racing survives the grave. Anon - Was It A Ghost They Saw?: (20 May 1893). Ghosts are a mere figment of the nervous imagination. Be rid of them for good with Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup (!). F. E. P. - The Goblin's Tip: (8 December 1894). The ghost of a gambler who died by his own hand provides accurate racing forecasts. Mrs. Henry Crosse - Father Wilfred's Ghost: (30 November 1895). The murdered monk of Fellmoor Grange finds peace at last. Don Ralpho - The Haunted Cue: (30 October 1897). Grudge match at the Shoddyville Club. Dr. Lucas, a jolly good fellow, plays Solomon Levi, demon of the billiard table, "a person almost universally tabooed." The result would be a foregone conclusion, were not Lucas playing with dead pal, 'Fluker's cue. Maud U. Clarke - The Ghost of "Bonnie Blink": (25 December 1897). As Bulcher, a horse trader and self-styled 'gentleman jockey,' drops dead, his ghost reunites with that of a favourite mare. Katharine Tynan - The Ghost: (1 December 1905). Humphrey Aylmer falls in love with the sad-eyed phantom of the Lodge. He soon discovers she has a living double. If the eighteen stories sampled are representative, the editor had a soft spot for 'rationalised' ghost stories, and should you share this fondness you may wish to seek out A. M. B.'s A Night with a Skull (24. Jan. 1891), Captain Sir William Wiseman's A Ghost at Sea (6 Dec. 1884), F. P.'s The Banshee (26 Aug. 1893), and/or Archie Armstrong's The Lights of Redbury Grange (30 Nov 1895).  Maud Clarke via MediaFire Scanned magazine pagesText only |
