Summary

Six timeless stories of supernatural terror and macabre imagination by “the 20th century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale” (Stephen King).   H. P. Lovecraft’s unique literary vision has influenced generations of authors whose work comprises its own subgenre: Lovecraftian horror. His legacy can be seen everywhere, from the HBO drama series Lovecraft Country to the enduring Cthulhu Mythos—a fictional universe first developed by Lovecraft in several of the stories included here.   An essential collection for any horror fan, this volume presents some of Lovecraft’s finest short fiction, including “The Call of Cthuhlu,” “The Dunwich Horror,” and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” among others.

Possessed by obsession, the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein robs graves in search of material to create new life. However, the creature he manages to resurrect does not meet his expectations. Rejected by Frankenstein and deprived of human companionship, it decides to destroy its creator and everything dear to him. This blood-chilling gothic novel, written when Mary Shelley was only nineteen years old, became the precursor of a new genre. It gained the status of a perfect study of the limits of human creativity and destruction, as well as one of the most famous horrors in the world.

An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television seriesWhen it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as "science fiction," the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style.The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides.  Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television. This anthology will be an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and featured and introduction by Carol Serling, the anthology will include brand new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hammer and Harlan Ellison®, all in honor of Rod's incredible vision.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

We have the pleasure of presenting not only three more stories by Mary Louisa herself, but also one by her son Bevil.The first story, The Shadow in the Moonlight, is one of her scariest. A plucky young lady and her brothers confront a ghost that brings the cold of death. Can they resist?The second story, At The Dip In The Road, is classic Molesworth - a sudden, mysterious encounter that leaves us with unanswerable questions of life and death.In Old Gervais, we encounter a different sort of ghost - one that cares very much about work left unfinished and clients left unsatisfied. Who knew that ghosts care about customer service?Last but not least, the story by her son Bevil not only captures a wonderfully uncanny moment, but also presents us with a rare glimpse of life in Patagonia a century ago. It's pretty generally thought that Mary Louisa did a pretty thorough revision of it, but it's a good story and clearly one that she cared about very much.Enjoy!
