In the first decade of the twentieth century, Julian Hawthorne – son of Nathaniel Hawthorne and not only a talented writer in his own right, but a writer who spent his entire life proving himself, over and over again – in the first decade of the twentieth century, Julian Hawthorne collected his favorite weird stories from writers around the world and organized them, mostly geographically, for Scribners – which published them in a series of mystery anthologies under the Lock and Key Library rubric. More rightly, the anthologies are Weird Fiction – some of the stories are mystery; some would do well published as modern horror, or SF, or fantasy; all of them exquisite and of interest to modern genre readers.
