Rudyard Kipling
This is a scatter shot collection of short stories and poems that really have nothing to do with each other. Most of them come from Kiplings early years, so some stories are good. Night Mail is the only science fiction; then there is a fantastic story about a haunted house, almost made up as a detective story, and in the less haunted genre, the couple moves to an old estate and finds that the bonds of earth and blood are stronger than human travels.
