Following the success of Handheld Press’s 2019 anthology Women’s Weird, British Weird is a new collection of classic Weird short fiction by British writers, first published between the 1890s and the 1930s. Embracing the famous and the undeservedly obscure, this collection – curated by James Machin, author of Palgrave Gothic’s Weird Fiction in Britain, 1880-1939 – assembles stories to thrill, entertain, and chill.

‘Man-Size in Marble’ by Edith Nesbit (1893)

‘The Willows’, by Algernon Blackwood (1907)
‘Caterpillars’, by E F Benson (1912)

British Weird also includes the full text of Mary Butts’ seminal 1933 essay ‘”Ghoulies and Ghosties”. Use of the Supernatural in English Fiction’.
