EERIE BOOK (HB)

First published in 1898, this unnerving anthology features work by Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Thomas de Quincey and Hans Christian Andersen, alongside famous and influential fairy tales and pieces of folklore. All the stories and extracts have touches of the supernatural, featuring malevolent spirits, grotesque murders, melancholy hauntings, macabre memoirs, gothic horror and disturbing legends. Each story is illustrated with a striking engraving by the Scottish art nouveau artist William Brown Macdougall. Beautifully produced, this is a gift for anyone who enjoys a chill up their spine.
