While he published many pieces in the best magazines of the day, no volumes of his work were published in his lifetime. As soon as he was dead, he was \"discovered.\" Four volumes of his collected works were in print within eighteen months. Three more followed in the next two decades. His poetry was acclaimed in the press as a new Keats, both for the brilliance of his work and the brevity of his life. He is remembered today for a handful of superbly crafted, eerie fantasies, such as \"The Coffin Merchant,\" \"On the Brighton Road,\" and \"The Conjurer,\" which only hint at the richness of the larger body of his work, and suggest what kind of a literary artist he would have become if he had lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43158416556095,"sku":"9781592242993","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/dR6Nu4yimg9781592242993.webp?v=1776989746","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-ghost-ship-others-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
