The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales

Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, Grimm The Brothers, Pocket Classic

Synopsis

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold—heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all.

Dance of the Dead

Richard Matheson

Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson
Richard Matheson was an influential American author known for his contributions to science fiction, horror, and fantasy literature. His unique storytelling style and exploration of existential themes have left an indelible mark on the literary world.
Matheson's literary career began in the 1950s when he started writing short stories for magazines like The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction. His early works often featured themes of isolation, fear, and the human condition.
One of Matheson's notable attributes was his versatility as a writer. He effortlessly transitioned between genres, exploring science fiction, horror, fantasy, and even westerns. This diversity allowed him to reach a wide audience and gain recognition across various literary circles.
Matheson's impact on popular culture cannot be overstated. His works have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists across generations. His ability to tap into universal fears and emotions resonates with audiences to this day.
Perhaps Matheson's most famous work, I Am Legend, published in 1954, is a seminal piece of vampire fiction. The novel, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires, explores themes of loneliness, survival, and the human psyche.
Another significant work by Matheson, The Shrinking Man (1956), tells the story of a man who begins to shrink after being exposed to a radioactive cloud. The novel delves into themes of identity, mortality, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown.
Hell House (1971) is a chilling tale of a haunted house and the team of investigators tasked with uncovering its secrets. Matheson masterfully blends elements of horror and psychological suspense, creating a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
