{"product_id":"supernatural-short-stories-walter-scott","title":"Supernatural Short Stories (Walter Scott)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the main forces in early nineteenth-century literature, Sir Walter Scott was not\u003cbr\u003eonly among the greatest novelists of his time, but influenced generations of writers,\u003cbr\u003eincluding literary giants such as Stendhal and Tolstoy. Though chiefly remembered\u003cbr\u003efor his historical epics Ivanhoe, Rob Roy and Guy Mannering, Scott penned a\u003cbr\u003enumber of short stories which have been unjustly eclipsed by the enduring fame of\u003cbr\u003ehis longer works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMostly set in the Highlands of Scotland and presenting a vast array of memorable\u003cbr\u003echaracters, the stories in this collection are tinged with an element of the\u003cbr\u003esupernatural or explore themes of murder and guilt, revealing the author's great\u003cbr\u003etalent in the shorter-fiction form. This volume also includes a long excerpt from\u003cbr\u003eScott's Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, which questions how much credit can\u003cbr\u003ebe given to ghost stories and alleged supernatural occurrences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWalter Scott is an interdisciplinary artist working in comics, drawing, video, performance, and sculpture.
