This early work by David H. Keller was originally published in 1929 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. ''The Worm'' is a short story about a giant worm that begins to eat a house and the occupant has to decide at what point to move out. David Henry Keller was born in Philadelphia in 1880. He studied neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania''s School of Medicine, graduating in 1903. He produced eleven novels and more than fifty short stories, as well as a body of poetry and some non-fiction. Most of his work is regarded as far more complex and literary than that of his contemporaries, thereby foreshadowing the science fiction ''golden age'' of the mid-20th century.†The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. From its roots in cryptozoology, this genre features bizarre, fantastical, and often terrifying tales of mythical and legendary creatures. Whether it be giant spiders, werewolves, lake monsters, or dinosaurs, the Cryptofiction Classics series offers a fantastic introduction to the world of weird creatures in fiction. - E-bokEngelska, 2014

David H. Keller, M.D. (1880-1966) was indeed a medical doctor (a psychiatrist -- and the first to write science fiction). He was an early proponent of H.P. Lovecraft and wrote a number of articles on Lovecraft''s work, whose influence can be seen in some of his horror stories. Another influence was James Branch Cabell. This volume concentrates on Keller''s fantasy and horror, but does include -- at the end of the book -- a few science-fiction and science-fantasy works which we obtained to late to include in the (already published) Golden Age of Science Fiction volume of his work.Included here are:
THE JELLY-FISHTHE WORMTHE BONELESS HORRORA PIECE OF LINOLEUMTHE GOLDEN BOUGHTHE DEAD WOMANTHE DOORBELLTIGER CATTHE THIRTY AND ONEHEREDITYTHE FACE IN THE MIRRORTHE GOLDEN KEYSTENOGRAPHER''S HANDSWHITE COLLARSTHE CEREBRAL LIBRARYUNTO US A CHILD IS BORNLIFE EVERLASTING
A note to the sensitive: As with many pulp writers, especially those born in the 19th Century, his works are not always politically correct by today''s standards. You have been warned.

‘Weird Tales’ launched in March of 1923 and the world was never the same again. While pulp magazines had been around for some time, ‘Weird Tales’ was the first pulp magazine to specialize in supernatural fiction. ‘Weird Tales’ single-handedly created the field of genre fiction as we know it. No longer did readers of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror have to seek out single stories in otherwise mundane magazines; now they had a magazine all of their own that published only the stories they wanted to read. Collected in this anthology are over two hundred thousand words and more than five hundred pages of some of the greatest stories ever published in the pages of ‘Weird Tales.’ Included are: ‘Beyond the Black River’ by Robert E. Howard; ‘The Secret of Kralitz’ by Henry Kuttner; ‘The Shunned House’ by H. P. Lovecraft; ‘Way Station’ by Mary Elizabeth Counselman; ‘Never Stop to Pat a Kitten’ by Miriam Allen deFord; ‘The Diary of Philip Westerly’ by Paul Compton; ‘The Door Into Infinity’ by Edmond Hamilton; ‘Isle of the Undead’ by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach; ‘The Perfect Host’ by Theodore Sturgeon; ‘Gainful Employment’ by Jamie Wild; ‘The Tree of Life’ by C. L. Moore; ‘Mop-Head’ by Leah Bodine Drake; ‘The Golgotha Dancers’ by Manly Wade Wellman; ‘The Medici Boots’ by Pearl Norton Swet; ‘The House in the Valley’ by August Derleth; ‘More than Shadow’ by Dorothy Quick; ‘In the Dark’ by Ronal Kayser; ‘Dearest’ by H. Beam Piper; ‘Doom of the House of Duryea’ by Earl Peirce, Jr.; ‘The Mississippi Saucer’ by Frank Belknap Long; ‘Mask of Death’ by Paul Ernst; ‘The Ring of Bastet’ by Seabury Quinn; ‘Tiger Cat’ by David H. Keller; ‘Old Mr. Wiley’ by Greye La Spina; ‘The Long Arm’ by Franz Habl; and ‘The People of the Black Circle’ by Robert E. Howard. - E-bokEngelska, 2016

David H. Keller was one of the first psychiatrists to start writing science fiction. His work is regarded as far more complex and literary than that of his contemporaries, thereby foreshadowing the science fiction ''golden age'' of the mid-20th century. Many of the best science fiction stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

Una selección de relatos de horror que muestra lo más oscuro del mundo vegetal. Una antología que reúne a nombres como Roald Dahl, Eudora Welty o H.P. Lovecraft.
Orquídeas sanguinarias, bosques enteros que se rebelan contra quienes los masacraron, setas tan bellas como venenosas, robles majestuosos que se convierten en la reencarnación del hombre de la casa, maravillosas enredaderas que reviven espantosos fantasmas del pasado, máquinas rudimentarias que permiten registrar el terrible sufrimiento de las plantas maltratadas, árboles solitarios que señalan el mismísimo umbral a un mundo pesadillesco… Un verdor siniestro recorre la literatura de los siglos XIX y XX y nos recuerda que las plantas, seres fascinantes y misteriosos, benéficos y letales a la vez, encarnan la otredad en forma de monstruo silencioso, al tiempo que padecen los efectos de la avaricia que lleva al ser humano a usurpar y destruir sin compasión aquellas formas de vida que, reducidas a materia prima, pueden generar riqueza.
Gótico botánico es un catálogo de historias del mundo vegetal más fantástico, que incluye a autores tan destacados como M.R. James, Richmal Crompton, H. P. Lovecraft o Roald Dahl, y que permite, además, descubrir las inquietantes creaciones de escritoras pulp como Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Maria Moravsky o Eli Colter. A partir de ahora, el verde será el nuevo negro.
CRÍTICA
«Ya sea como eficaces símbolos de temas universales, en forma de remotos miedos victorianos y de personajes híbridos, peligrosos o sedientos de venganza, los vegetales ofrecen una fascinante variedad literaria, consecuencia lógica de su casi infinita y perturbadora cantidad de especímenes y de todo lo que nos queda por descubrir sobre ellos.» —Patricia Esteban Erlés
