To mark the 150th anniversary of Scottish author John Buchan’s birth, strange fiction expert James Machin presents a new selection of the writer’s best uncanny fiction, including stories from The Runagates Club. Though best known today as the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps, this new volume aims to foreground his contribution to the early weird tale, including some of his most classic stories alongside a number rescued from rare periodicals of the early twentieth century.
