From the sinister imagination of Edgar Allan Poe to the supernatural suspense of H. G. Wells, this collection of stories explores a range of eerie experiences. There are hauntings, monsters and plenty of often inexplicable and always terrifying dramas.

The classic masters of the genre are here; in Algernon Blackwood’s deeply unnerving The Occupant in the Room a hotel room hides a terrifying secret. In Guy de Maupassant’s Vendetta, a mother is bent on terrible revenge and in The Treasure of Abbot Thomas, M. R. James turns a treasure hunt into a nightmare.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
