    About this ebook

    The Case of Mr. Lucraft is a careful study of the notorious Mr. Ebenezer Grumbelow, possessed of unholy powers, a fiendish resolve, and diabolical selfishness. Excerpt: "I HAVE more than once told the story of the only remarkable thing which ever happened to me in the course of a longish life, but as no one ever believed me, I left off telling it. I wish, therefore, to leave behind me a truthful record, in which everything shall be set down, as near as I can remember it, just as it happened. I am sure I need not add a single fact."
