Classic Supernatural Stories
"A masterful collection containing all types of supernatural tales . Over the long course of literature there are many stories which stand out, maybe jump out would be a better analogy in this context, with a theme from another world, the other side, a world we usually cannot see but which can take over our personal space in a blink of irrational thought. Reason tends to dissolve and instead panic and fear become our likely partners. And this is all before we actually journey along the awkward story path the author has devised for us.1 - Classic Supernatural Stories - An Introduction2 - The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson3 - The Facts In The Case of Monsieur Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe4 - The Trial for Murder by Charles Dickens5 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo6 - A Ghost Story by Mark Twain7 - Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling8 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving9 - The Horla by Guy De Maupassant10 - The Middle Toe of the Right Foot by Ambrose Bierce11 - Lost Hearts by M R James12 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit13 - The Furnished Room by O Henry14 - The Open Window by Saki15 - The Upper Berth by F Marion Crawford16 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster17 - An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street by Sheridan Le Fanu18 - My Adventure in Norfolk by A J Alan19 - Hodge by Elinor Mordaunt20 - The Bus Conductor by E F Benson21 - The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards22 - The Ankardyne Pew by W F Harvey23 - N by Arthur Machen24 - The Moon Bog by H P Lovecraft25 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs26 - The Sumach by Ulric Daubeny27 - John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood28 - What Was It by Fitz James O'Brien"

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. It is commonly said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. That may be a way to fortify our reason and rationality but all too often it merely escalates the panic and irrationality so that every sentence we read or hear has the ability to shred nerves and common sense in next to no time. Why would we allow authors to do this to us? The truth is we enjoy it. Fear may be frightful but it is also enormous fun. Unless, of course, they take it too far. Which in many cases our classic authors including Edgar Allan Poe, H P Lovecraft, Edith Nesbit, W W Jacobs and a host of others certainly do. 1 - Short Stories About Fear - An Introduction2 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe3 - In The Dark by Edith Nesbit4 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft5 - My Own True Ghost Story by Rudyard Kipling6 - Jerry Bundler by W W Jacobs7 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki8 - The Sphinx by Edgar Allan Poe9 - The Judge's House by Bram Stoker10 - An Uncomfortable Bed by Guy de Maupassant11 - Fear by Catherine Wells12 - How They Stopped the 'Run' by Anthony Hope13 - The Gray Man by Sarah Orne Jewett14 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe15 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage16 - The Three Sisters by W W Jacobs17 - The Cobweb by Saki18 - The Power of Darkness by Edith Nesbit19 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe20 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe"

Stories Exploring the Fear of Death
"That moment in time will come. It will be the end of this life and one of three things will happen. Nothing, Heaven or Hell. Somehow, for most people, the odds don’t look so good on laying back in Paradise for eternity. And we may be there alone or with people we never really liked or―or most probably, we don’t really have any coherent idea at all. Just the fear that the end is nigh.Our literary friends including Edgar Allan Poe, Leo Tolstoy, Mary Shelley and others probably mean well but their job here is to tackle fear head on and we may well end up not getting the answer we first thought of. 1 - Stories Exploring the Fear of Death - An Introduction2 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Coffin Maker by Alexander Pushkin4 - The Cobweb by Saki5 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy6 - Cool Air by H P Lovecraft7 - The Mortal Immortal by Mary Shelley8 - The Sphinx by Edgar Allan Poe9 - The Dream by O Henry10 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov11 - The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe"

13 Unlucky Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
"Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan. He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe. His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education. His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer.Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals. At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin. She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after.In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic. Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre.Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.1 - 13 Unlucky Tales of Edgar Allan Poe - An Introduction2 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe3 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe4 - The Facts In The Case of Monsieur Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe5 - Elenora by Edgar Allan Poe6 - Ligeia by Edgar Allan Poe7 - The Cask of Amontillardo by Edgar Allan Poe8 - The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe9 - Hop Frog by Edgar Allan Poe10 - William Wilson by Edgar Allan Poe11 - The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe12 - The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe13 - The Premature Burial by Edgar Allan Poe14 - The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe15 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe16 - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe"
