Great Stories of Horror and Suspense: The Monkey's Paw, Hop-Frog, and 13 More - Literary Touchstone Classic

What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Is it something sinister-a secret sense warning you that something is wrong, that someone, some thing you can't see, is in the room with you? Is it real? Should you run? Fight? Scream? Find the answers within the musty, dark recesses of these stories. Through the haunted imaginations of Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, Ambrose Bierce, and nine other great authors, we are transported to places our own imaginations hesitate to take us, and we bear witness to unthinkable events. These stories endure, not merely because of what they are about, but how they are told-and when told by master storytellers, these startling tales send chills up and down our spines. Open the book, if you dare, and enter another world-you'll find that it's worth the risk. This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and notes to help the modern reader appreciate details that may otherwise be confusing or overlooked.
