Description	The Haunted Jester is a collection of short stories by Donald Corley, illustrated by the author. Corley did not limit himself to one genre, but the primary distinction of the collection is its inclusion of a number of classic dark fantasies . It was first published in hardcover in New York by Robert M. McBride in 1931. It was later reissued by Books for Libraries in 1970. The collection's importance in the history of fantasy literature was also recognized by the anthologization of one of its tales ("The Bird with the Golden Beak") by Lin Carter in Discoveries in Fantasy (1972), for the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series.The New York Times praised the collection, saying "when Mr. Corley writes lacquer legends of things far away and long ago, he assumes the mantle of all romancers since the telling of 'Arabian Nights'. . . . Life may be seldom so noble, so wistful or so colorful, but these stories, for all their artifice, give spur to the imagination.""New Arabian Nights", The New York Times, October 18, 1931, p.64
