The Bad Lands

John Metcalfe was a master of the strange tale; unjustly neglected nowadays. His tales rank alongside the writings of Robert Aickman, Walter de La Mare and Thomas Ligotti in their ability to unsettle and disturb without overt shocks or horror. We have collected here, what we consider the strongest of these tales. Included are ’Mortmain’, ’Nightmare Jack’, The Bad Lands’ and his brilliant novella ’The Feasting Dead’.
