"... twenty-one of Burke's tales of the weird and the supernatural, including such classics as The hands of Mr. Ottermole and The hollow man. Also included is a reminiscence by publisher Grant Richards, who recognized the brilliance of Limehouse nights after it had been turned down by several other publishers; and in an extensive introduction, Salmonson looks at the colorful, and sometimes contradictory, life of Thomas Burke."--Flyleaf.
