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 bone-chilling collection brings together the very best within the genre, featuring crumbling castles, chilling cathedrals, and haunted manors as their eerie settings. Packed with supernatural settings and unknown entities, the stories within include surprised around every corner that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
Includes:
• The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
• The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson
• Bewitched by Edith Wharton
• The Dream by Mary Shelley
• The Iron Shroud by Ambrose Bierce
