The writers whose shoulders modern writers of horror and the macabre stand upon, showed no fear in creating and sharing delightfully wicked, chilling, disturbing and thought-provoking stories.
These ten tension-filled, atmospheric tales of horror by such masters as Edgar Allan Poe, W.W. Jacobs, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, H.P. Lovecraft and more are certain to send chills down your spine.
The stories are selected and introduced by Mark Leslie, a writer of horror and speculative fiction as well as a series of non-fiction explorations of the paranormal.
