E. F. Benson, British author

[alovelywaytospendanevening]

The Benson brothers in 1907. From left to right: Arthur Christopher "A. C.", Robert Hugh and Edward Frederic "E. F." (or Fred).

All the three brothers were writers. Arthur wrote the lyrics of the English patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory", Hugh wrote the notorious Catholic novel Lord of the World and Fred wrote the popular series Mapp and Lucia and David Blaize. The Bensons authored multiple ghost stories as well.

All the three also had homosexual inclinations. In Fred's case, this often served as inspiration for a number of his novels. None of them married or had any children.

The Outcast: and Other Dark Tales by E.F. Benson (British Library Tales of the Weird), edited by Mike Ashley, British Library Publishing, 2020. Cover art by Enrique Bernardou, info: shop.bl.uk.

An anthology of the best stories of E.F. Benson, a beloved though now less well-known ghost story writer. Featuring a mixture of Benson’s classics with rare tales from literary magazines in the Library collection, this title includes a new introduction which sheds light on this fascinating character of an author, himself an ‘Outcast’ from family and society. The terrifying presence of a restless spirit on the top deck of a London bus; a possession at the bridge table on a cruise up the Nile; a nightmare encounter with druidic sacrifice in the innocuous setting of a terraced back garden... E.F. Benson’s ‘spook stories’ pushed the boundaries of the ghost story tradition by exploring new, previously ‘out of bounds’ settings – such as public transport and even hauntings by daylight – to frighten his readers from the 1890s to the 1930s. Benson delighted in twisting every idea and image and experimenting with the unexpected; this new collection of short stories from across his long career in writing draws together the most innovative, satisfyingly dark and still resonant tales to thrill anew, and to give a clear picture of this playful master of the form, to whom many writers of supernatural fiction have been indebted. This edition also features a detailed introduction containing the fascinating story of Benson’s life, and the never before republished story ‘Billy Comes Through’.

Summary Between the Lights is a short horror story published in 1912. Between the Lights is a part of a short story collection "The Room in the Tower and Other Stories" also published in 1912.

Edward Frederic Benson (24 July 1867 - 29 February 1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E. F. Benson. Benson's first book was Sketches from Marlborough. He started his novel writing career with the (then) fashionably controversial Dodo (1893), which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama.

A prolific writer, Benson created the famous Mapp and Lucia series, which satirized upper-middle class British life in the 1920s and 30s. He also developed a reputation for writing macabre ghost stories and other stories of the supernatural, which have been adapted for film and television.  Summary by Goodreads.

'The Room in the Tower' - Edward Frederic Benson

[nothingseriousquotes]

Edward Frederic Benson, Paul v. 1, 1906

Page 10: He ran on down the cobbled path, leaving the girl to follow in more leisurely fashion. The conversation they had had about essential age, light and nonsensical as it appeared on the surface, yet held for her a germ of truth which was quite serious. She had known Paul Norris since they were children together, and it seemed to be very true indeed that he was essentially a child. Others, girls and boys alike, had grown up, but he and she, so it appeared to her, had till just lately continued children. Life had held for them both nothing serious at all, and for him still it held nothing serious. Others, their contemporaries, married and were given in marriage, but love which, though we are told it is ever young, is still the most fruitful cause of making children into men and women, had as yet touched neither him nor her. The world, in fact, for them both had been till now one huge box of toys of the most absorbing interest; yet, however interesting and absorbing, nothing was more than a toy. They had both played at life with unabated zest, and now this morning for the first time consciously she was standing with her toys about her, wondering whether they were really toys at all. No such wonder certainly had crossed his mind, but it had crossed hers, and as she made her way more slowly down the path he had run down it was extremely vivid to her. Her thoughts as in no way self-conscious; it did not dwell on herself at all, but was concerned wholly with those things—men, women, her friends, her whole environment, which at present had been but the implements of this game called life. Page 53: Theodore dwelt for a moment on Mrs. Mundy’s high spirits and thoughtless mirth as exhibited yesterday with regard to the tree-bough, the housemaid, and the trains at Genoa, and concluded that it must have taken considerable agitation to shatter that, for, indeed, it seemed extremely firm and steadfastly rooted. ‘Ah, pray tell me what has happened, then,’ he said. ‘As you say, it was all so pleasant yesterday. I hope it is nothing serious.’ ‘It is ruin,’ said Mrs. Mundy calmly, waving her sketch to help the funereal green to dry. ‘My sister is absolutely ruined, and she has to sell her diamonds and the footmen and the motor-car. It’s all this wretched, miserable South Africa, that took all our relations first of all, and now all our money, and there will be nothing left soon except the Chinese laborers.’ ‘Pray tell me more,’ he said. ‘I am most grieved. Pray tell me.’ Mrs. Mundy had put her sketch back on to her easel up side down, but corrected this.

Man who went too Far

When Darcy, recuperating from a serious illness, goes to stay with an old friend of his, Frank, in the New Forest, he discovers a puzzling change in the man. He appears to have become significantly younger and is also filled with exuberance and joy. Frank explains that he has spent the last six years studying Nature and has discovered a new philosophy of life around the joy of nature. After devoting himself to Nature, he has started hearing a strange wonderful pipe music in the woods and he knows that the final revelation is about to come to him. But Darcy has serious misgivings about his friend’s situation and his fears are not unfounded. Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, best known for his evocative and beautifully narrated ghost and horror stories.
