Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This chilling anthology, first published in 1898, features classic gothic authors Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Thomas de Quincey, and Hans Christian Andersen alongside well-known and influential fairy tales and folklore.

All of the macabre stories and extracts from longer works have hints of the supernatural, and many include malevolent spirits and grotesque murders. This varied selection also features melancholy hauntings and poignant memoirs in a fascinating mix of gothic horror and disturbing legend.

Each story is illustrated with a striking engraving by art nouveau artist William Macdougall.

The Eerie Book is beautifully produced, carefully curated, and timeless, making it the perfect gift for anyone who likes to be haunted by ghost stories. Read it if you dare.
