"Fear will overtake you in the most wonderful ways! Really scary things can come in small packages, and these 5O frightening tales offer big chills and thrills. They represent more than 150 years' worth of writing, and include the greats: H. P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Oscar Wilde, and J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Best of all, a variety of human emotions and behavior is revealed, from avarice to revenge, from jealousy to love. Every story will entertain, captivate, and evoke a shiver of terror." -- Provided by the publisher
