Julian Hawthorne, born in 1846, was the only son of Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of America's greatest writers. As a child, he had been fascinated by the supernatural, and his fiction dealt with the mysterious, the occult, and the gothic. Yet while Julian was a prolific writer, his works fell into almost complete neglect following his death, overshadowed by the literary shadow of his father and scandal in Julian's later life. Now Jessica Amanda Salmonson has selected eight of Julian Hawthorne's best supernatural tales, ranging from the early vampire classic Ken's Mystery' to the gothic horror of the novella Kildhurm's Oak'. There is also an extensive introductory monography by Salmonson, and a jacket illustration by Deborah McMillion-Nering. An Ash-Tree Press Limited Edition.
