    Queer Stories from Truth (Cassell, 1886, hc, an)
        A long-running series of volumes drawn from the pages of Truth, a paper started in 1876. Despite its title many of the stories were fiction. Few were supernatural or fantastic, the “queer” tending to relate to the odd, unusual or mysterious. The first four volumes (1886/87) were written by E. C. Grenville Murray. Many of the later stories were anonymous. After a gap the series appeared almost annually between #8 (1901) and #21 (1915). It was relaunched in 1921 and ran to at least 24 volumes. Of marginal interest in later volumes are “Though One Rose Again” by E. R. Punshon (vol. 22, 1921) and “Pride” by Douglas Newton (vol. 24, 1927).
