Alfred McLelland Burrage was born in 1889. His father and uncle were
both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age sixteen, A. M. Burrage had
joined them and quickly became a master of the market, publishing his
stories regularly across a number of publications. By the start of the
Great War, Burrage was well established. In 1916 he was conscripted to
fight on the Western Front, his experiences becoming the classic book
War is War by Ex-Private X. For the remainder of his life, Burrage was
rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a
prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers. His supernatural stories
are, by common consent, some of the best ever written. Succinct, yet
full of character, each reveals a twist and a flavor that is
unsettling … sometimes menacing … always disturbing.
