Trade paperback, New, SIGNED, 296 pp.<br/> "In Haunted by Books Mark Valentine explores the more curious byways of literature. He presents the author who was always being told he had nearly written a masterpiece, and the genius of the short story who brewed his own cider and lived in a railway carriage.mThen there's the figure of the 1890s, praised by Max Beerbohm, who liked to wander around London wearing horns and chewing railings, and the young man in the 1930s who tried to sell his poetry door to door. There are also new angles on key figures: the strange case of Robert Aickman, sailor and philosopher; the book that Sax Rohmer really wanted to write; the enigma of Walter de la Mare's 'Seaton's Aunt'. And there are literary mysteries; what was the MS in a Red Box? Who wrote Shakespeare's Gunpowder Plot? What became of Dr Ludovicus? Other essays celebrate… Read More
