White Wolf and Other Fireside Tales
These are stories meant for dark evenings and a warm hearth. Quiller-Couch, writing as Q, was a master of the genre Victorian readers craved: tales that begin as comfortable reading and slowly, skillfully, turn strange. This collection gathers his finest short fiction across mystery, horror, and adventure. There are ghosts that linger in ancient houses, pirates on the Cornish coast, scholars wrestling with secrets, and at least one princess worth rescuing. The ship White Wolf sails through these pages with its own tale to tell. What unites these stories is Quiller-Couch's uncanny ability to make the familiar feel unsettling - a country lane, a seaside village, a quiet library - then reveal the unease hiding just beneath the surface. These are perfect short reads: self-contained worlds that build to satisfying, often unsettling, conclusions. For readers who want fiction that feels like a flickering fire and a half-told legend.
