    “Book Descriptions: First published in 1944, here are fifty-two stories of heart-stopping suspense from some of the most renowned authors and horror writers in literary history, with an introduction and notes from Phyllis Cerf Wagner and Herbert Wise.

    “There is not a story in this collection that does not have the breath of life, achieve the full suspension of disbelief that is so particularly important in [this] type of fiction.”—The Saturday Review

    This spine-chilling anthology collects stories from such distinguished spell weavers like:

    • Edgar Allan Poe (“The Black Cat”)
    • Wilkie Collins (“A Terribly Strange Bed”)
    • Henry James (“Sir Edmund Orme”)
    • Guy de Maupassant (“Was It a Dream?”)
    • O. Henry (“The Furnished Room”)
    • Rudyard Kipling (“ ‘They’ ”)
    • H. G. Wells (“Pollock and the Porroh Man”)

    As well as tales from other masters of literature, including:

    • Algernon Blackwood (“Ancient Sorceries”)
    • Walter de la Mare (“Out of the Deep")
    • E.M. Forster (“The Celestial Omnibus”)
    • Isak Dinesen (“The Sailor-Boys Tale”)
    • H.P. Lovecraft (“The Dunwich Horror”)
    • Dorothy L. Sayers (“Suspicion”)
    • Ernest Hemingway (“The Killers”)
    • And more!

    Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a gooseflesh special,” Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural is a must-read for every horror fan and lover of classic literature.”
