1919. Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. During WWI, he joined the Russian Red Cross and was awarded the Order of St. George. His time at the front provided him with the material for two of his successful novels, The Dark Forest and The Secret City. Contents: Vera and Nina; Lawrence; and Markovitch and Semyonov.
