Perceval Landon

Perceval Landon (1869–1927) was an English writer, traveller and journalist, now best remembered for his classic and much reprinted ghost story "Thurnley Abbey".  Landon's penchant for the supernatural elements in his stories reflect the Victorian fascination with gothic and eerie narratives.

Although Perceval Landon's name might not be instantly recognisable in the modern literary landscape, his contributions to early 20th-century journalism and literature provided a distinct voice and perspective. His travelogue on Tibet is considered an important historical document, and his ghost stories continue to entertain readers who enjoy a foray into the supernatural.
