Tales of Suspense and Horror (illustrated): 50+ Weird and Terrifying Stories by Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Machen, Bram Stoker, E. F. Benson, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Mary Shelley, Robert W. Chambers, William Hope Hodgson, Nikolai Gogol. If modern books on the paranormal seem dull to you, the horrors predictable, and suspense stories worthy of a casual yawn, then it is time to return to the classic origins of horror and thrill genres. Enter, dear reader, into the pages which birthed those vampires, zombies, werewolves, ghosts, demons and other evils which now inhabit our modern fantasy and mystical works. Be assured that the plots of these classical suspense stories, while crackling with XIX and XX century atmosphere, are no less sophisticated or fantastical than today’s premier writers of the genre. You may even discover the inspiration for stories written by Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Dean Kuntz, and others.EDGAR ALLAN POETHE GOLD-BUGTHE PIT AND THE PENDULUMTHE TELL-TALE HEARTTHE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHERTHE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATHTHE CASK OF AMONTILLADOTHE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUETHE BLACK CATTHE FACTS IN THE CASE OF M.
