A collection of thirteen bone-chilling tales from some of history's masters of horror.

Thirteen Terrifying Tales is a chilling anthology that includes gruesome short stories by the best horror writers from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the likes of which include M.R. James, Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, W.W. Jacobs, and Thomas Burke. This collection also features thoroughly disturbing ghost stories by renowned authors Edith Wharton and E. Nesbit. Between these great works of the genre, these stories cover all things malevolent, from murder, obsession, changelings, ghosts, evil shadows, to curse-bearing caterpillars in settings as varied as a grand house, an inner-city courtyard, a seaside resort, and a deserted church. Each one of these terrifying tales embodies our fear of the unknown and, in the hands of these literary titans of horror, exploits it to thrilling levels that still frighten today.
