“There are places in the Pacific almost as far away as another star.”
In the magical and beautiful islands of the South Seas, belief in the supernatural can mean the difference between life and death. Beatrice Grimshaw, though born and raised in Ireland, lived and breathed the culture of the islands for most of her adult life. In these stories, she conjures the Pacific’s darker side, where sorcerers practice their ancient craft, where enchanting forests ensnare the unwary, where ghosts linger for thousands of years, and where beauty often casts a sinister shadow. Strange South Seas is the first collection gathering together a career-spanning selection of Grimshaw’s spectral and speculative tales depicting terrains at the edge of the world and beyond.
Please note: Some stories in this collection include colonial attitudes and racist language. The stories are reprinted as they originally appeared.
