The Death Room

During his prolific writing career Edgar Wallace excelled in the art of the short story. Many were published within hard-covers, but some fine examples appeared only in magazines and then vanished. Now Jack Adrian has drawn together the best of these uncollected stories that display the vast range of Wallace's gifts for writing in the fields of mystery, science fiction and, above all, the supernatural.
