Synopsis: For the first time, Far Below and Other Weird Stories contains all of Robert Barbour Johnson's weird fiction in one book, plus three essays selected by S. T. Joshi. His distinctive stories were admired by H. P. Lovecraft, and "Far Below" was voted by readers in 1953 as the best story ever published in Weird Tales magazine. His stories are distinctive and fast-paced, and he frequently uses common motifs such as inanimate objects coming to life, ancestral curses, vampires, werewolves, witches, and more! He always manages to infuse new life into these venerable themes by innovative treatment, and writes with an intense, Poe-like style which makes his weird fiction engaging and very entertaining to read.
