"O'Brien's early death undoubtedly deprived us of some masterful tales of strangeness and terror." - H. P. Lovecraft
An Arabian Night-mare and Others (1848-1854) gathers O'Brien's earliest speculative fiction. The collection opens with the eerie poem "Forest Thoughts", a meditation on dark Gothic themes, and concludes with the story "A Peep Behind the Scenes", which explores the metaphorical theater of life. Between these bookends, readers will find poems, fragments, and stories that delve into liminal spaces, nightmares, wild fantasies, and the unsettling theme of mental deterioration. This collection showcases O'Brien's early fascination with the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination.
This is volume one of a three-volume set of Fitz-James O'Brien's fiction and poetry, the most comprehensive collection of his horror and supernatural writings to date. When taken together, the full set offers valuable introductions for readers of fantastical literature, featuring works never previously collected and some appearing for the first time outside their original publications.

Über den Autor
Fitz-James O'Brien (1826/8-1862) was born in Co. Cork, Ireland, and spent his teenage years in Limerick after his mother remarried. Early in life, he published poetry, but soon turned to short fiction, the mode defining his legacy. At twenty-one, he inherited family wealth and moved to London in 1849, where he honed his craft. After squandering his inheritance in three years, he emigrated to America in 1852. There, O'Brien flourished as a writer, following Edgar Allan Poe's influence. He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War and died in 1862 after being wounded in battle.
