"The Gerrard Street Mystery and Other Weird Tales" by John Charles Dent is a collection of weird tales written in the late 19th century. The book features intriguing narratives that blend elements of mystery, the supernatural, and historical context, showcasing Dent's prose and storytelling prowess. The opening story centers around William Francis Furlong, who recounts a series of peculiar events surrounding his return to Toronto after a long absence. The beginning of the text introduces Furlong as a successful commission merchant in Montreal, who reflects on his past and the life of his uncle, Richard Yardington. He indicates that he has received an unexpected letter from his uncle, despite being far from Toronto when it was supposedly written. The correspondence reveals troubling hints regarding family sorrow and his uncle's wish to meet him at the train station. Upon arriving in Toronto, Furlong embarks on a perplexing journey filled with suspense as he discovers his uncle has been dead for weeks, raising unsettling questions about the nature of the communication and laying the groundwork for a mystery steeped in supernatural intrigue.
