American Midnight: Pushkin Classics

"Fireside stories where guilt, distress and unforeseen illness strike a deliciously gothic note." -- Sunday Express

A masquerade ball cut short by a mysterious plague; a strange nocturnal ritual in the woods; a black bobcat howling in the night: these 9 tales are some of the most strange and unsettling in all of American literature.

From Edgar Allan Poe to Shirley Jackson, Nathaniel Hawthorne to Zora Neale Hurston, the authors of these classics of supernatural suspense have inspired generations of writers to explore the dark heart of the land of the free.

Now beautifully repackaged in a stunning new paperback edition, this collection includes deliciously spine-tingling stories such as:

• 'Young Goodman Brown' by Nathaniel Hawthorne
• 'The Eyes' by Edith Wharton
• 'Spunk' by Zora Neale Hurston
• 'A Ghost Story' by Mark Twain,
• 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
• and many more!
