You won't want to be alone after you've read this chilling anthology of timeless horror stories penned by the masters of short fiction. Creeping and crawling with thrills and suspense enough for readers of all ages, this collection of terror filled tales is a brilliantly entertaining introduction to classic literature. When I started this project, it appeared to be obvious which stories I'd select. Then a curious thing happened...I read, in depth, many stories from each potential author, and I found out the "Cliff Notes" reading style of my younger academic years served as a grave injustice to these amazing authors. My job, now, was immensely more difficult...so many eerie and macabre stories...what to choose...what to choose? These final selections practically jumped off the pages and literally, as well as literately, raised the hair on the back of my neck. Collectively, they provide an exciting and suspenseful sampling of various writing styles and themes across the horror genre. So, forget the modern film adaptations, or what you remember from adolescent academics and tap into terror straight from its' literary source. Turn on your night-light and pull up the covers...the horror...the horror!
