The stories that built modern horror
Before slasher films, before paperback splatter, horror was a quiet, atmospheric thing — a guest who didn't quite belong at the party, a name called from the trees, a sealed door that wouldn't stay sealed.
This collection gathers six of the finest examples in the public domain: two of Poe's tightest revenge fables, Washington Irving's gentler-than-you-remember Sleepy Hollow, Algernon Blackwood's pitiless Wendigo, and the two stories that more or less invented cosmic horror as we know it.
