Lord Drummond, ein Gentleman um die fünfzig, lebt zusammen mit seinem Sekretär Angus Coon und etlichen Angestellten in einem hochherrschaftlichen Herrenhaus in der besten Lage Edinburghs. Er führt dort ein beschauliches Leben, bis er eines Tages ein Haus in den schottischen Highlands erbt.

An award-wining poet, short story writer and novelist, Walter de la Mare is probably best known for his works for children and his perennially popular poem ‘The Listeners’. His ghost stories were much admired by H. P. Lovecraft and inspired subsequent authors of supernatural horror such as Robert Aickman and Ramsey Campbell. In 1921, his novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction, and this haunting, surrealistic tale is the opening tale in our anthology.
