Rent Classic Horror Stories: Sixteen Legendary Stories of the Supernatural

Synopsis

Before electric lights and telephones, there were only candles and, at last, gas lights, to banish the darkness. And in that darkness might lurk - who knows? Ghosts, werewolves, vampires, witches, or even the Devil himself! Such stories were told - and written - to provoke that delicious chill of fear which, even in our own electrified world, millions seek through movies and television. But these tales were written when humanity was closer to nature, and not so jaded - and they still have a power to thrill! Collected here are stories from the Classical World and the Bible, from the Middle Ages and Shakespeare, and from such latter day greats as Polidori, Bram Stoker, M. R. James, Lafcadio Hearn, and Gogol. You may read CLASSIC HORROR STORIES by electric light rather than gaslamp, but you'll still get a chill!
