Hans Frost

1929. Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. Hans Frost begins: No one perhaps in the United Kingdom was quite so frightened as was Nathalie Swan on the third day of November, 1924, sitting in a third-class carriage about quarter to five of a cold, windy darkening afternoon. Her train was drawing her into Paddington Station, and how she wished that she were dead! See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Reading An Essay

1927. Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. The book begins: It would be flattering to my intelligence were I able to make this Essay a learned and analytical description of any reader's proper mental processes. I have seen such books, books that point out so clearheadedly what must be read at eight, eighteen, twenty-eight, with careful lists of the fifty best volumes, and cold and impassive descriptions of the world's most famous writers.
