Spooks and inexplicable things that go bump in the night have long exercised creative imaginations and provided source material for our greatest story-tellers.

Included in this collection are tales from the heyday of supernatural fiction, when the great names of literature contributed to the genre as a matter of course - authors such as Collins, Conan Doyle, Dickens, Gaskell, Hardy, Hawthorne, O. Henry, James, Jerome, de Maupassant, Poe, Stevenson, Thackeray, and Wilde.

You will also find within these pages forgotten gems by unjustly neglected authors, who deserve this opportunity to find a new readership.

So, settle back, and let these Classic Tales of the Supernatural guide you through the perils of the unknowable.
