Scream—and scream again! That’s the only reasonable response to The Screaming Skull and Other Classic Horror Stories, a connoisseur’s collection of some of the best short horror stories published in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The thirty tales gathered here are a ghoul’s gallery of macabre masterpieces, written by horror fiction’s best—and darkest—writers.
Spanning the American and European continents and extending from the dawn of the Victorian era to the pulp magazine explosion of the 1920s, the contents offer a cornucopia of supernatural and psychological horrors rendered with a style and sophistication that belies their terrors. Selections include:
“The Mask of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe
“The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs
“The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood
“August Heat” by William Fryer Harvey
“The Screaming Skull” by F. Marion Crawford
“The People of the Pit” by A. Merritt
“The Outsider” by H.P. Lovecraft
