The Nights And Cities Of Gerald Kersh

This is a new site devoted to the life and work of Gerald Kersh, author of Night And The City and hundreds of short stories. He's also Harlan Ellison's favourite writer. I've tried to keep this site as simple as possible so you don't waste any of that precious time on the world wide wait.

I am currently writing a biography of Gerald Kersh, and the information on this site derives from my research over the past 6 years. If you want more information about Kersh's life, then I'll be happy to offer you the opportunity to buy a copy of the biography when I complete it.

Biography: A short article about his life and work.
Books: A list of the published novels and short story collections.
Short Stories: A list of every short story I could find.
Articles: Kersh was a prolific journalist under several pseudonyms. Here's a list.
What The Critics Said: Sometimes they were nice, sometimes they weren't.
Kershed: The monthly newsletter about all things Kersh.

If you want to talk to me, either to comment on this site, to send me new bibliographic information, or to simply chew over the good and bad points of Kersh's work contact: kershed@aol.com

This site was constructed on February 10th 1999.
