The Brown Portmanteau: And Other Stories. Curtis Yorke. London: Jarrold and Sons, 1889. First edition. The eleven stories here appeared previously in TEMPLE BAR, BELGRAVIA, and LONDON SOCIETY. The title story is a rationalized horror tale. “Two Daggers and a Coronet” is another tale of horror, crime and madness, as are several others in this collection. “In Some Other World” is a love story implying reincarnation. A solid collection of high Victorian sensation fiction. -- source link
