Description

A superb collection of Gothic short stories brings together tales from the earliest decades of the genre with later 19th and early 20th century works. This anthology features stories by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell, and M.R. James, alongside those of lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories have never been anthologised before, while others are considered 'lost masterpieces'. The collection covers the full spectrum of Gothic storytelling, exploring themes of madness, violence, shape-shifters, spectres, and the deepest fears of the human mind. David Blair's introduction provides fresh insights into the stories' place within the complex traditions of Gothic writing in British and American literature. With its lively and authoritative commentary, this collection offers a unique glimpse into the darker corners of the human experience.
