Don Rodriguez: Chronicles of Shadow Valley
AuthorLord Dunsany
After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period; but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element...

One of the foremost British writers of supernatural tales in the twentieth century, Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951) wrote stories in which the slow accumulation of telling details produced a foreboding atmosphere of almost unendurable tension. Blackwood's literary renown began in 1908 with...
Figures of Earth
AuthorJames Branch Cabell
ISBN1414298250
Mundus vult decipi - the world wants to be deceived - and the happier man is one whose desires remain unfulfilled inform all of Cabell's writing. As the chroniclers write of Poictesme's redemption:

Crustaceans
AuthorWilliam Meikle

The Return
AuthorWalter de la Mare
ISBN0486296881
I first read Walter de la Mare's fiction in his seminal ghost story "Seaton's Aunt" (the ending of which built to such a level of menace that I still retain a visual image in my mind of the final scene). I'd also heard Erik Bauersfeld's performance of de la Mare's "All Hallows" (which concerns odd, metaphysical...

AuthorTim Curran
With a kid on the way, Boyd needed the job bad. But the idea of going underground at the Hobart Mine, down into the dark labyrinth of tunnels to get at the raw ore, left him with a brooding sense of unease. Maybe it was the fact that his father had died down in the mines or maybe it was something much worse.

The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories
AuthorRudyard Kipling

These are ghost stories Kipling style. The mystery is quickly substituted by a fine irony and a delicate sense of humor making these stories absolutely delicious to read. My favorite is the one about the "almost dead" people, which mean people that were thought to be dead but awoke just at the moment they...
