Summary
Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England.This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books. When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity.In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes.Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.

This audiobook is titled A Short Story Collection, and my only regret is that it contains only seven (7) of Frederick Cowles’s stories. What is included here are six (6) stories from 1936’s The Horror of Abbott’s Grange: 1. Eyes for the Blind; 2. The Limping Ghost; 3. The Haunted Church; 4. Room for One; 5. Passenger from Crewe; and 6. The Horror of Abbott’s Grange. And one story from 1938’s The Night Wind Howls: 7. Rats. The stories collected here are all first rate.
