Greatest Horror Stories from Around the World (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

Fear travels, and this anthology follows it across languages and literary traditions. Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant, H. P. Lovecraft and Arthur Conan Doyle appear alongside other writers who shaped the modern horror story. Selections such as The Cats of Ulthar, The Horror of the Heights and The Tell-Tale Heart show how differently terror can be built, from a narrator unravelling in plain sight to something vast and indifferent glimpsed at the edge of the known world. The spread across periods and regions makes the volume a survey as well as an entertainment. Inside the collection: • Horror writing drawn from several countries and eras • Named stories including The Cats of Ulthar • Psychological and supernatural approaches side by side • Deluxe hardbound edition for a permanent shelf A good fit for horror readers, students of the short story and collectors of world literature anthologies, available through Boipoka.
