This superb new collection brings together stories from the earliest decades of Gothic writing with later 19th and early 20th century tales from the period in which Gothic diversified into the familiar forms of the ghost- and-horror-story. Work by writers such as Poe, Dickens, Hawthorne, Gaskell and M. R. James appears alongside that of anonymous writers from the start of the period and many lesser-known authors from Britain and America. Some of these stories, like the haunting βThe Lame Priestβ are βlost masterpiecesβ and several have never been anthologised before. Together they cover the spectrum of Gothic story-telling β tales of madness and violence, of shape-shifters and spectres, that express some of the deepest fears of the human mind β insanity, sexuality, death and the often terrible power of the past to catch up with the present.
In a lively, authoritative introduction David Blair provides fresh insights and a detailed commentary on the storiesβ place in the complex traditions of Gothic writing in British and American literature.
