Richard Lamb, eldest son of noted ghost story anthologist Hugh Lamb, has announced a new, memorial edition of his father’s Terror By Gaslight anthology, first published in 1975.
This features the original fourteen stories plus three more selected from the editor's collection of unused material, and there is a new Afterword by Mike Ashley.
It follows a a new edition in 2019 of Victorian Tales of Terror, which included an extra story originally intended for inclusion in the book.
Hugh Lamb’s anthologies are notable for rediscovering rare and unusual material, rather than offering the standard well-worn classics, and this volume includes work by R. Murray Gilchrist, Rhoda Broughton, Robert Barr, Grant Allen and Dick Donovan.
Richard has also set up a website (see the link above) devoted to
Hugh Lamb’s work, with news, information, a bibliography and gallery.
