Foundational Classic Horror This companion anthology to J. F. Gonzalez's Shadows in the Attic collects dark tales that inspired, frightened and made new ground in the horror genre. Including writers like M. R. James, Francis Stevens, and Robert W. Chambers, the stories here compliment the rich history, a guided tour through horror's past. So come, let us head to the third floor, and dig through the boxes and trunks stored in the attic and see what darkness we can find.
