Overview
“These classic chillers will certainly make you look under the bed at night.” —Daily Mail
From a beautiful antique that gives its owner a show he’d rather forget, to “ghost detective” whose exorcism goes horribly wrong and a sinister masked ball which seems to have one too many guests, these ghost stories of supernatural terror are guaranteed to make you shiver, thrill and look under the bed tonight.
From rural England to colonial India, in murky haunted mansions and under modern electric lighting, these master storytellers—some of the best writers in the English language—unfold spinetinglers which pull back the veil of everyday life to reveal the nightmares which lurk just out of sight. They are lessons in ingenuity and surprise, sometimes building slowly to a chilling climax, some- times springing horror on you from the utterly banal. And as you’d expect from these writers, the stories are more than simply frightening—they’re also disquieting exposures of mortality, loneliness and the human capacity for both evil and remorse.
We wish you pleasant dreams.
