The Tiger Skin: And Other Tales of the Uneasy by Violet Hunt (British Library Tales of the Weird)

A headless coachman drives his carriage of lost souls towards a violent fate. A mother’s obsession with eugenics spirals into a cruel madness. An adulterous pair are plagued by the suspicion that their dog means to expose their darkest secrets.

In 1911, Violet Hunt published her groundbreaking collection of short stories entitled Tales of the Uneasy, which explored a world of psychological and ghostly hauntings, shot through with high tragedy and strange horror. Over time, Hunt’s reputation as a literary hostess obscured her important contribution to British weird fiction, and now her uncanny collection – recognised by R. S. Hadji as one of his thirteen “neglected masterpieces of the macabre” – is long overdue its rightful place among the great weird works of the Edwardian era.

At times utterly chilling, startlingly bleak and darkly comic, this new edition also includes Hunt’s rare and revised novella version of the beguiling title story, ‘The Tiger Skin’.
