William Chambers Morrow (1854-1923) was an American writer, now noted mainly for his short stories of horror and suspense. He is probably best known for the much-anthologised story His Unconquerable Enemy (1889). He moved to California in 1879 and began selling stories to the Argonaut. His first novel was Blood-Money (1882). A Strange Confession, was serialised in the Californian in 1880-81, but was never published in book form. His stories were collected in The Ape, the Idiot and Other People in 1897, but he published few stories thereafter. By 1899 Morrow had begun a school for writers, and in 1901 he produced a pamphlet, The Art of Writing for Publication. Morrow published two romantic adventure novels, A Man: His Mark (1900) and Lentala of the South Seas (1908). He also published a journalistic work called Bohemian Paris of Today and a short travel booklet, Roads Around Paso Robles (1904).

"Mr W.C Morrow, who used to live in San Jose, California, was addicted to writing ghost stories which made the reader feel as if a stream of lizards, fresh from the ice, were streaking it up his back and hiding in his hair." THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, Ambrose Bierce. Apart from such praise from one of the greatest horror writers of them all, there is much else to recommend Morrow's stories; revenge beyond sanity, bizarre ends and unnesscary surgery all feature in this unjustly forgotten classic. Edited and with an introduction by Kevin Sweeney.

Excerpt from Bohemian Paris of to-DayIt is a student that presents the insight which this volume gives into the life of the students and other Bohemians Of Paris. It is set forth with the frank ness Of a student. Coming from such a source, and having such treatment, it will have a special charm and value for the wise.The students are the pets Of Paris. They lend to the city a picturesqueness that no other city enjoys. SO long as they avoid riots aimed at a government that may now and then Offend their Sense Of right, their ways of living, their escapades, their noisy and joyous manifestations Of healthy young animal life, are good-naturedly overlooked. Underneath such a life there lies, concealed from casual view, another life that they lead, - one Of hard work, Of hope, of aspira tion, and Often Of pinching poverty and cruel self-de nial. The stress upon them, of many kinds, is great. The utter absence Of an effort to reorganize their lives upon conventional lines is from a philosophical belief that if they fail to pass unscathed through it all, they lack the fine, strong metal from which worthy artists are made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
