E.T.A. Hoffmann was an enormous talent writing long before the market for weird fiction came into focus. One of the first great horror magazines -- Weird Tales -- stole the title of this two-volume collection without so much as a note of thanks! Anyway, if you like weird fiction (probably a better word for the genre than horror than horror), you'll love Hoffmann's Weird Tales.
Included in this first volume of the two-volume collection are "The Cremona Violin," "The Fermata," "Signor Formica," "The Sandman," "The Entail," and "Arthur's Hall."
