Fading Supernatural

The Book of Wonder

by Lord Dunsany

These tales are doors painted on air: jeweled thieves, impossible cities, patient idols, and gnoles glimpsed just beyond ordinary geography. Dunsany rarely explains a wonder when a well-chosen name can make it feel older than explanation. Read one story at a time and leave the door ajar.
