Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural

Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural by mazzeo, henry. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385093736.

These seventeen tales are all in the best tradition of the supernatural story -- authentically eerie, but more about the human spirit than about spooks and specters. Well-known authors are presented here in what, for them, is an unusual manner: a rich vein of British and American imaginative fiction including the likes of HP Lovecraft, August Derleth, HG Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, JB Priestley, Henry James, MR James, John Collier, and (as a character) Edgar Alan Poe. Illustrated by Edward Gorey.
