About The Book

Gothic fiction emerged in the 18th century, recognised for its bleak and sinister landscapes which housed unnatural forces of evil. Often controversial in their time, these stories pushed the boundaries of what was possible in fiction and evoked unsettling emotions as they told their tales of mysterious places, lost secrets, and sudden, shocking violence.

This collection brings together the very best within the genre, featuring crumbling castles, chilling cathedrals, and haunted manors as their eerie settings. Supernatural terrors lurk around every corner.

Includes:
• The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
• The Red Room by H.G. Wells
• Oglala by Robert Louis Stevenson
• The Dream by Mary Shelley
• A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family by Sheridan Le Fanu

Presented in a striking gift edition with a silver-embossed cover design, sprayed edges, ivory paper and beautiful endpaper designs, this anthology makes a wonderful treasury for lovers of gothic horror.
