Spectral Tales

About The Book

<p>From the dawn of storytelling we have been mesmerized entertained and fascinated by stories of other-worldly visitations. Our earliest folklore and oral tales suggest that even before recorded time on every continent and in every language we created narratives to animate our fear of the unknown. The classic stories in this anthology have been selected for their literary style psychological complexity and enduring power to electrify both the imagination and the senses. As varied rooted in and intriguingly expressive of their time and place these stories give expression to a universal hunch that we live among ghosts-whether of the past or in the form of portending presences. From Edgar Allan Poe's timeless "The Tell-Tale Heart" to M. R. James's "Count Magnus" to Algernon Blackwood's subtly unnerving "The Willows" each of these tales rise to-and in many ways define-the high water mark of the genre. Includes the full text of H. P. Lovecraft's superb essay On the Supernatural in Poetry an illuminating history and exploration of the art of the weird story-along with brief author biographies.</p>
