Nach dem Buch 'The Gerrard Street Mystery and Other Weird Tales' von John Charles Dent aus dem Jahre 1888. Inhalt: Das Geheimnis der Gerrard Street, 'Gagtooths' Abbild, Das Spukhaus in der Duchess Street, Savareens Verschwinden Das Buch konnte erst kurz nach dem fr hen Tod des Autors ver ffentlicht werden, der es somit nicht mehr erlebt hat. Die Herausgeber sagen: John Charles Dent, der Autor der folgenden bemerkenswerten Geschichten, wurde 1841 in Kendal, Westmorland, England, geboren. Seine Eltern wanderten kurz nach diesem Ereignis nach Kanada aus und brachten nat rlich den Jungen mit, der sp ter ein bekannter kanadischer Schriftsteller und Historiker werden sollte. Die vier Geschichten, aus denen der vorliegende Band besteht, wurden von ihrem Autor in gr eren Abst nden f r verschiedene Zeitschriften verfasst. Einige Zeit vor seinem Tod zog er in Erw gung, sie in Buchform zu ver ffentlichen, und hat sie zu diesem Zweck ausgew hlt und sorgf ltig berarbeitet. Er war der Meinung, dass sie es wert waren, vor der Vergessenheit gerettet zu werden, und wenn wir sie mit vielen hnlichen Werken vergleichen, die st ndig in der Presse erscheinen, k nnen wir nicht glauben, dass sein Urteil falsch war. Sie werden nun in bereinstimmung mit seinem Wunsch ver ffentlicht.
