of the two central characters and almost immediately you can't help but feel an affinity with them. What I loved most about the book is how the author managed to potray a range of emotions from one page to next.

Supernatural Tales is an anthology of short stories from the early 20th century horror writer John Buchan. Although the collection is mainly made up of those stories which have to do with strange goings-on, in my opinion a better title would be ?Arcane Tales", because most of the stories are more queer and unsettling than terrifying or even overtly fantastical, and they almost all share an emphasis on "ancient secrets".
