A Treasury of Classic Ghost Stories

A Treasury of Classic Ghost Stories celebrates the rich literary legacy of the tale of the supernatural and the macabre with more than 40 stories that span the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book's lineup of writers reads like a who's who of classic horror authors from America, Great Britain, and the European continent: Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, Guy de Maupassant, Edith Wharton, and more. Its selections include some of the finest weird tales ever published, among them Lovecraft's 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth,' Blackwood's 'Keeping His Promise,' Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Isle of Voices,' William Fryer Harvey's 'The Beast with Five Fingers,' and H. G. Wells's 'The Stolen Body.'
