The Skeleton Key by Bernard Capes First Edition Collins 1920. 9d paperback. Faint stamp to half title page. Contents unblemished throughout. A near VG copy of a seldom seen title. "The Skeleton Key" is a collection of mystery and horror short stories written by British author Bernard Capes. These stories are known for their macabre and supernatural elements, making them an early contribution to the horror genre. The tales in "The Skeleton Key" often involve mysteries, ghostly apparitions, and elements of the occult. Capes was an accomplished writer of the supernatural and excelled at creating eerie and atmospheric narratives. While the stories in this collection are less known today than the works of some of his contemporaries, they offer a glimpse into late 19th-century horror fiction and the fascination with the eerie and uncanny during that period.
