Classic Horror

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

A celebration of the very best literary horror, a series of terrifying novels and tales that for generations have thrilled, captivated, and kept readers wide awake at night.

Step into the terrifying world of ghostly apparitions, grotesque monsters, and terrible, creeping dread—but be careful, who knows if you'll make it out alive?

This collection brings together ten of the greatest literary horror stories ever written, from Mary Shelley's iconic tale of a 'body swap' gone wrong, to Edgar Allen Poe's terrifying account of a great family's downfall, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's chilling description of female subjugation.

A treasure trove of scares and spooks, Classic Horror is a timeless celebration of all that curdles the blood and goes bump in the night...
