"Uncanny Tales" by Various is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology includes an array of eerie and unsettling narratives that explore the darker aspects of human experience and the supernatural. The stories appear to feature diverse characters and mysterious events that evoke a sense of suspense and intrigue. The opening portion of the book begins with "The Unknown Quantity," where Professor William James Maynard is enjoying the benefits of a recent inheritance, having gained a substantial fortune following the suspicious death of his cousin. As he revels in his newly acquired wealth, he experiences an unsettling occurrence involving a drop of blood appearing on his hand without any apparent source. This mysterious phenomenon, which coincidentally appears every month, becomes a source of anxiety for the professor, leading him to investigate this unknown quantity with increasingly dire consequences. The story sets the tone for the collection, suggesting themes of mystery, morality, and the psychological toll of human actions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
