Excerpt from The Poems and Stories of Fitz-James O'brien: Collected and Edited, With a Sketch of the Author Health, Bird Gossip, and A Paper of All Sorts, and seven miscellaneous poems, all published in Harper; his Fragments from an Unpublished Magazine, which appeared in the Democratic Review, in September, October, and December, 1852; his series of sketches, called The Man about Town, begun in Harper's Weekly, and con tinued in Frank H. Bellew's Picayune; his dramatic re views, contributed to the Saturday Press in 1858 - 59; a number of papers in the old series of Putnam many mis cellaneous articles in the Home Journal, the Lantern, Van ity Fair, and other papers; more than twenty stories; and six plays. It is said that he began, and partly com posed, a tragedy on the subject of Samson but I have not been able to find it. He undertook to write, for Leslie's Stars and Stripes, - a paper published, during about six months, in I859, - a romance entitled The Scarlet Pet ticoat; but this has not been found. He began, in Bel lew's Picayune, March 27th, 1858, a story called From Hand to Mouth; but he left it incomplete, and it was finished either by Bellew or by Pool, his sub-editor. He wrote discursive articles on many subjects. He was surprisingly apt at jest, and squib, and song. With a rare aptitude for literature, he possessed also an extraordinary faculty for journalism. I have traced his busy pen in many places. He was the most industrious idle man that ever I have known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Fitz-James O'Brien is the most important figure after Poe and before Lovecraft in modern horror literature . . . and [was] imitated by such authors as Ambrose Bierce, Guy de Maupassant, and F. Marion Crawford." Jessica Amanda Salmonson "Fitz-James O'Brien was the most distinguished short story teller between Edgar Allan Poe and Bret Harte." Edward J. O'Brien "[When O'Brien] turned to science fiction & fantasy he begin to display the full force of his truly outstanding talents." Sam Moskowitz "O'Brien's early death undoubtedly deprived us of some masterful tales of strangeness and terror." H.P. Lovecraft For the first time, all the major writings of Fitz-James O'Brien will be published in a multi-volume edition. This is an important publishing event, making the writings of this long-lost nineteenth-century Irish-American writer available to the public in a uniform and scholarly edition. Fitz-James O'Brien (1826/8-1862) came to the United States from Ireland in 1852 looking to make his way in the literary world. With impressive recommendations in hand, he had no trouble finding work and immediately started editing and publishing stories and poetry, along with other things, in some of the most influential magazines of the day. When the Civil War began, he joined the Union army and was fatally wounded in 1862. H.P. Lovecraft said of O'Brien, in his important survey of supernatural literature, Supernatural Horror in Literature, "O'Brien's early death undoubtedly deprived us of some masterful tales of strangeness and terror." O'Brien is one of the most important American writers in between the first and the second half of the nineteenth-century. His short stories follow the same natural and supernatural horror, philosophical observations of human nature, and social criticisms as those of the great American triumvirate - Irving, Hawthorne, and Poe. It was Poe that had a particularly strong influence on his writing, but the influence of all three of these writers can be seen in his stories. This is the third volume of an anticipated five-volume edition of The Collected Writings of Fitz-James O'Brien. This volume will include all his poetry and music. For the introduction of these volumes, William Winter's sketch of O'Brien (from the introduction of the first collected edition of his works) has been included. Volume One will include all his short stories from the periods 1851 - 1855. Volume Two will include all his short stories from the periods 1856 through 1862, the year of his death. Volume Four will include miscellaneous writings, including the complete "The Man About Town" series, and other journalism, as well as the novella "The Phantom Light" and his popular play, "A Gentleman from Ireland." And Volume Five will include all biographical material about O'Brien. A Bit O'Irish Press is pleased to offer the writings of this important Irish-American writer of supernatural and weird fiction.

An absorbing and haunting collection of early science fiction tales by an Irish-American author Fitz-James O'Brien capitalized on the success of his predecessors Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley in writing disturbing stories with demented protagonists, and this collection of three tales shows his mastery of the macabre. "The Diamond Lens" tells of a lone scientist's discovery of a microcosmic world within a drop of water, and his growing obsession with the beautiful Animula, a fair maiden within this world which he can see but never enter. His uncompromising pursuit of knowledge at any cost foreshadows the mad scientist familiar to readers in a multitude of works. In "What Was It?" an invisible man is discovered by residents of a boarding house. The residents' capture and investigation of the creature blends the fantastic with the scientific as they seek rational explanations for this extraordinary phenomenon. "The Wondersmith" is a macabre tale of an embittered toymaker who seeks revenge upon the society that has persecuted him by creating demonic mannequins and imbuing them with life in order to slaughter the masses— a fantastic melodrama in which the cunning Wondersmith is offset by the unassuming and unlikely hero Solon the hunchback, in love with the villain's daughter.

his volume forms part of a continuing initiative by Wayne R. Kime to make available the writings of Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862), an Irish-American literary man who during his lifetime won reputation as one of the most talented young authors in the United States, but who has been all but forgotten since. It follows Fitz-James O'Brien: Selected Literary Journalism, 1852-1860 (Susquehanna University Press, 2003) and Behind the Curtain: Selected Fiction of Fitz-James O'Brien (University of Delaware Press and Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2011), both edited by Kime. Like its predecessors, the volume offers evidence that "not only for his vivid contemporaneity but also for his originality, range, and technical skill" (Fitz-James O'Brien: Selected Literary Journalism, 10), O'Brien's claim to lasting memory was well justified. Thirteen Stories by Fitz-James O'Brien: The Realm of Mind presents a group of works that explore one of the author's special interests, the representation of individual consciousness. All but three of the stories are reprinted here for the first time. The works are arranged chronologically, by date of publication, under five headings: Expanded Faculties ("The Old Boy," "The Spider's Eye," "Seeing the World"), Induced Visions ("The Hasheesh Eater," "Broadway Bedeviled"), New Knowledge ("Mr. Grubbe's Night with Memnon," "The Golden Ingot," "How I Overcame My Gravity"), Love and Hate ("Number 101," "Jubal, the Ringer"), and Dreams ("A Terrible Night," "The Crystal Bell," "From Hand to Mouth"). A general introduction, brief introductions to the individual stories, and explanatory notes complement the reprinted texts. The volume has been designed to appeal to both general and specialist readers.

A tremendous number of European immigrants came to the United States during the 1840s and 1850s; many came in search of new economic opportunities. Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) came to America (originally from Ireland) in 1852 looking to make his way in the literary world. With impressive recommendations in hand, he had no trouble finding work and immediately started editing and publishing stories in some of the most influential magazines of the day (e.g., Harper's New Monthly Magazine, The American Whig Review, Putnam's Monthly Magazine, and The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine). When the Civil War broke out, in 1861, he joined the Union army and was fatally wounded in 1862. O'Brien is one of the most important American writers in between the first and the second half of the nineteenth-century. He serves as an important literary bridge between Romanticism and Realism. His short stories follow the same natural and supernatural horror, philosophical observations of human nature, and social criticisms as those of the great American triumvirate - Irving, Hawthorne, and Poe. It was Poe that had a particularly strong influence on his writing, but the influence of all three of these writers can be seen in his stories. H.P. Lovecraft said of O'Brien, in his important survey of supernatural literature, Supernatural Horror in Literature, "O'Brien's early death undoubtedly deprived us of some masterful tales of strangeness and terror." This collection will be the most complete one-volume edition of O'Brien's works to date. Included in this edition are all his important stories, the ones that he was most known for during his lifetime (e.g., "What Was It?" "The Diamond Lens," and "The Wondersmith"), as well as others that have never been published since their initial publication in the 1850s. This edition comprises about half his total published short stories during his lifetime. Most O'Brien anthologies contain five to eight of his stories, this edition contains over thirty-five short stories, as well as a sampling of his Gothic poetry. All aspects of O'Brien's Gothic will be represented in this edition, the supernatural, urban, fantasy, and tragedy. Also included in this edition are some of his satires and the semi-autobiographical and humorous story "Carrying Weight." This volume will be of interest for courses on American Studies as well as courses focusing on Romantic and Gothic Literature, Horror, Science Fiction, or the Humanities.

The Wondersmith is a spooky Christmas story by Fitz-James O'Brien. O'Brien was an Irish author often considered one of the forerunners of the sci-fi genre. Excerpt: "Zonela was surely not of gypsy blood. That rich auburn hair, that looked almost black in the lamp-light, that pale, transparent skin, tinged with an under-glow of warm rich blood, the hazel eyes, large and soft as those of a fawn, were never begotten of a Zingaro. Zonela was seemingly about sixteen; her figure, although somewhat thin and angular, was full of the unconscious grace of youth."
