Great Tales of Terror Supernatural 52 Stories Wise & Fraser 1944
The most comprehensive and hair-raising collection of ghost stories and tales of terror ever assembled in a single volume. Found in the more than 1,000 pages are fifty-two stories, each a masterpiece. The famous stand-bys are all here, and a score of others that will be startlingly new to the average horror addict.
The compilers ransacked old libraries and little-known collections to find these macabre tales, over half of which have rarely, if ever, been included in any similar anthology. They offer an illuminating introduction to this world of shadows and notes for all the stories in the volume. The authors represented are Poe, Bierce, Machen, Hemingway, de la Mare, Kipling, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Blackwood, Wells, Benson, Onions, Le Fanu, Dinesen, Coppard, Woollcott, Saki, Sayers, Faulkner, and many others equally distinguished.
