 Ghost Stories of Oliver Onions, published by Tartarus Press
Oliver Onions has long been acknowledged by aficionados of supernatural writing as an elegant and accomplished practitioner; the eerie and beautifully-crafted ‘The Beckoning Fair One’ is perhaps the best known and certainly the most anthologised of his stories.
One of Onions’ great strengths, but perhaps also one of the reasons why the majority of his ghost stories have been overlooked, is that they are not easy to categorise; their settings vary greatly, they have a broad frame of reference and the traditionally ‘supernatural’ content is sometimes minimal.
Tartarus Press offers in its second printing of Oliver Onion's Ghost Stories a generous collection of superbly written tales of supernatural invasion, psychological unease, and transitory shifts between the everyday and supernatural - reality and the surreal both concepts presented by the author as paradoxical effects of the same cause.

 Fictionwise eBooks: Classic Ghost Stories: Widdershins by Oliver Onions & G. W. Thomas
Oliver Onions (1872-1961) began his working life as an artist doing posters and commercial work like magazine illustrations.
Onions wrote Mystery and historical fiction, even a Science Fiction novel, New Moon (1918) but it is for his ghost stories that he is remembered.
Onions proves this theory for the nonsense it is. Believers like Blackwood often fill their stories with too much of the jargon of spiritualists.

 The Weird Review: "The Triumph of Death"
Their respective parents are all possesed of more money than time for their progeny, hence the present volatile situation; as it turns out, Mrs Van Necker has a bit more to worry about when traveling with this party than randy soldiers or heartsick suitors at every turn.
Onions must have been well-traveled himself, or at least he knew, like any good novelist, how to pull off that impression.
The general critical barometer on Onions is all over the place, but few will argue that he produced a handful of top-notch ghost stories, to which group this, while not haunted in the usual sense, certainly belongs.

Sir George discovers another writer, Derwent Rose, ten years his junior at 45, after a succes d'estime with the "mortal and inhuman irony of The Vicarage of Bray, the vehement and unchecked passion of An Ape in Hell....
Onions having established that this phenomenon is real, not illusory, which he confirms from time to time with flawless touches, the story is of how it takes Rose and the people he meets.

 Oliver Onions
Onions is best known for his supernatural fiction and is regarded by many as one of the twentieth century masters of the genre.
Although Onions' ghost fiction is traditional in form, he concentrates more fully than his contemporaries upon his characters' inner feelings and physical reaction when faced with the seemingly inexplicable.
Interestingly, Onions was a great pragmatist and did not believe in ghosts or occult agencies of any sort.

Holding of Onions material at the U of Delaware Library; includes a brief biographical note.

I imagine the name of C.T. Onions is familiar to many of my readers; he joined the staff of the OED in 1895 and became a full editor in 1914 (he wrote the final entry in the first edition, "zyxt obs.
Since you aren't familiar with his work, you may be in for a treat: Oliver Onions' best ghost stories are extremely good.
Too many writers seemed to think that throwing in a "forsooth" or two, or confusion over who was on the throne, was sufficient to establish time-depth for a "haunting." Onions was making a real effort.

 The Beckoning Fairly Long
This is the point at which the seasoned ghost-story reader expects the history of the house to be laid out, the sad existence and the tragic end of the long-haired harpist to be narrated in detail.
And the fate of Elsie Bengough, which Onions dances around at the end (he only gives us glimpses), registers more powerfully for the careful (no, I didn't say plodding) path by which he leads us to it.
Incidentally, Onions got the idea for the story from the sound of his wife brushing her hair in the bedroom.

 Fantasy and Science Fiction - Curiosities
These days if Oliver Onions is mentioned at all, beyond a snigger at his name, it is usually because of his incomparable ghost story "The Beckoning Fair One" in the aptly titled Widdershins.
Yet Onions wrote much more, many of them curiosities, from the wonderfully innocent, yet anally challenging, Draw in Your Stool (odd and moody tales of a more traditional sort) to the harshly alien The Story of Ragged Robyn and the suffocatingly mesmeric The Hand of Kornelius Voyt.
Beautifully written in homage to Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, which has a similar atmosphere, Onions grapples with trying to portray a man whose memories of past events intensifies as memories of the present (in real time) fade.
