Publisher's Synopsis
Ralph Adams Cram was a noted architect of collegiate and ecclesiastical buildings. Appropriately, given his penchant for the Gothic in architecture, Cram's only major foray into fiction is the highly regarded collection of horror stories, Black Spirits and White, whose name derives from Macbeth Act IV, Scene I. Of particular note is the final story in the collection, 'The Dead Valley', whose memorable climax was singled out by H.P. Lovecraft as a favourite moment in the history of supernatural fiction.
