Featuring contributions from both 19th-century trailblazers, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Washington Irving, to 20th-century masters such as Edith Wharton and Franz Kafka, a collection of horror tales reminds us that dark forces lurk all around us and the fear of the unknown is very real. Original.

With dozens of stories of the macabre, fantastic, and supernatural, Classic Horror Tales is sure to keep readers on the edges of their seats. This collection of works by classic writers spans more than a century—from 19th-century trailblazers such as John William Polidori, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Washington Irving to 20th-century masters like Saki, Edith Wharton, and Franz Kafka.

The fear of the unknown is a driving force in literature, and the horror genre surpasses all others in bringing this idea to the forefront of the reader's consciousness. A wide range of cultures and classes of society are represented in this volume, reminding us that dark forces lurk all around us—for even in broad daylight, a shadow exists somewhere.
