Marion Crawford, Lee Weinstein Wildside Press, 2002 A pleasing mixture of gothic and nautical horror At the beginning of the twentieth century, F. Marion Crawford was one of the most prolific, widely-read novelists of the English-speaking world--a sort of Sidney Sheldon of the Edwardian era. Now, his novels are banished to the musty shelves of old-fashioned romance and historical fiction, but his supernatural tales live on, most especially "The Upper Berth" and "The Screaming Skull."

Media Books Audio Publishing, 2001 A Good Collection of Ghost Stories by Great Authors Dover's collections of ghost, horror, and mystery stories are among the best deals in the paperback book world.

Marion Crawford Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2004 Anti-divorce novels, circa 1900 F. Marion Crawford often didn't espouse causes in his novels, but in these two novels he took on what he considered to be the "lenient" divorce laws coming into existence around the turn of the 19th century. In ADAM JOHNSTONE'S SON a divorced woman and her daughter are living in Europe. A boatload of tourists arrives and the daughter and a young man meet and fall in love. Later it is revealed ...             Adam Johnstone's Son Marion F. Crawford IndyPublish, 2008             The white sister1 review F. Marion Crawford Extension Press, 1927 Timepiece F. Marion Crawford's "The White Sister" was originally published in 1909, the year of Crawford's death. At the turn of the last century, he was a popular novelist, remembered more today for several of his spookier tales. This story is a bit dated in places.

Marion Crawford Dodo Press, 2006 His first novel, but certainly not his best His first novel, set in India, Crawford seems more interested in presenting local color scenes, as well as the politics, religion, and customs of the country, than in telling an interesting story.

In one scene, that is typically Crawford while at the same time seeming ludicrous, everyone involved in a tiger hunt ...             The Screaming Skull1 review F.

This book is a delightful member of the broad category of Fantasy (of which Tolkien's _Lord_of_the_Rings_ may be the most famous work). But this is not a story of elves and orcs. It is, as you might guess, a story of camels, genies, noble Bedouin warriors, a beautiful (and clever) Arab princess, and the vast desert. The central plot device is a genie who is turned into a man, and given ...             Whosoever Shall Offend1 review F.
