E. F. Benson, in full Edward Frederic Benson, (born July 24, 1867, Wellington College, Berkshire, Eng.-died Feb. 29, 1940, London), writer of fiction, reminiscences, and biographies, of which the best remembered are his arch, satirical novels and his urbane autobiographical studies of Edwardian and Georgian society. The son of E. W. Benson, an archbishop of Canterbury (1883-96), the young Benson was educated at Marlborough School and at King's College, Cambridge. After graduation he worked from 1892 to 1895 in Athens for the British School of Archaeology and later in Egypt for the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. In 1893 he published Dodo, a novel that attracted wide attention. It was followed by a number of other successful novels-such as Mrs. Ames (1912), Queen Lucia (1920), Miss Mapp (1922), and Lucia in London (1927)-and books on a wide range of subjects, totaling nearly 100. Among them were biographies of Queen Victoria, William Gladstone, and William II of Germany. In 1938 he was made an honorary fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Benson's reminiscences include As We Were (1930), As We Are (1932), and Final Edition (1940). (britannica.com)

The following pages contain certain rules and suggestions concerning health, and certain simple and sensible ways in which it may, we hope, be acquired and maintained at a very small expense of time and self-denial, by a large number of people who are naturally accustomed to feel not very well. The book is founded on notes made by its two authors who, though they lead for the most part very different lives, are agreed on certain broad principles of health herein set forth.

Näiden aiemmin suomentamattomien ja hyvin erilaisten tarinoiden maailma kuhisee yliluonnollisia ja kammottavia vieraita: eloon herääviä kuolleita, aavemaisia ilmestyksiä, irvisteleviä pääkalloja, paholaismaisia hirviöitä, kuolettavia rakastettuja ja muuta klassisen kauhukirjallisuuden kuvastoa. Kokoelman ehdoton helmi on Middlemarchin ja Daniel Derondan kirjoittajan George Eliotin ainoa hairahdus kauhukirjallisuuden puolelle: niminovelli Kohotettu huntu kuvaa päähenkilönsä, romanttisen antisankarin Latimerin yritystä ymmärtää yliluonnollisia kykyjään ja saavuttamatonta rakkautensa kohdetta Berthaa. Latimer joutuu kuitenkin huomaamaan liian myöhään, että jotkut salaisuudet on syytä jättää tietämättömyyden hunnun taakse. Antologian muita kirjoittajia ovat Ambrose Bierce, Jerome K. Jerome, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Barry Pain, J. Y. Akerman ja E. F. Benson, jonka novelli Mies joka meni liian pitkälle on romantiikan kauhutarinoiden klassikko. Novelliantologian on toimittanut Jussi Tuomas Kivi.
