The Cyclopaedia of Ghost Story Writers is an ever-expanding
database of information (bibliographic and biographic) of authors
who have written at least one published short story (generally less
than 30,000 words) with the theme of haunting or another related
aspect of the supernatural during the Georgian, Victorian or
Edwardian period. The current definition of whether an author
belongs within this period is vague but as a general rule no author
born before about 1920 is included. For each author is given, if
possible, some basic biographic information, followed by a list of
known short stories by the author, most but not all of which are
supernatural or specifically ghostly in nature, followed by known
publications (and dates thereof) containing one or more of the named
short stories. This information is in no way comprehensive or
complete. As the amount of information on
this database increases and the number of individual writers expands
each will be given a separate page. Links will eventually be provided
for individual writers' Web sites and/or on-line transcriptions. This
database may be used for private research and non-commercial use with
proper reference to the originator. Any other use must be explicitly
authorised.
