This is another volume of short stories in our series of Vincent Starrett’s uncollected writings. It is a hodge-podge of rare stories that have never been published in book form (except for The Man in the Cask ). Here is exciting adventure in “The Striped Orchid”; strange and mysterious happenings in “The Open Window,” “The Menace of Mars,” “Statement of John August Durand,” “Four Friends of Mavis,” and “The Dark Riders”; amusing and delicious satire in “The Two Mrs. Mantons,” “The Song of the Siren,” “Afternoon of a Faun”; mystery in “Stalled” and “Burglar Proof”; and a heart-warming dream of an old soldier in “Drummer Boy.” There are 22 short stories and novelettes in this collection by a master story-teller who never fails to entertain.
