Ulric Daubeney

Little is known about Ulric Daubeny. He was a scholar of church history and woodwind instruments—publishing historical texts on both topics. In 1919 he published The Elemental, his only volume of fiction. Three years later, in 1922, he died, just 34 years old.

Despite his untimely passing, The Elemental remains a powerful legacy. Aging gracefully, the stories which comprise the collection are as inventive and unsettling today as they were upon the volume's publication in 1919.
