A chilling anthology of 9 classic weird and supernatural tales from the dark heart of American literature, compiled and introduced by award-winning author Laird Hunt!

"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!

Selected and introduced by Laird Hunt, the prize-winning author of In the House in the Dark of the Woods, these stories are filled with unforgettable imagery and simmering with supernatural tension, making them some of the most important contributions to the genre of 'weird fiction' ever written.
