Polar Horrors: Strange Tales from the World's Ends
London: British Library Publishing, 2022. Cover illustration by Sandra Gomez. Trade paperback. British Library Tales of the Weird. Inspired by ground-breaking expeditions in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, writers of the weird began to construct a literary Arctic and Antarctic in which terrors lay undiscovered in the ice and gateways to bizarre hidden worlds lay waiting. From lurid Arctic narratives of life amongst polar bears to tales of ghostly visitations within the wind-blown wilds of the southern continent, this new collection uncovers a wealth of neglected material from this niche of literature obsessed with the limits of human experience. Fine. Item #556
