This is the book for everyone who loves modern Gothic and wants to know where the vampires, ghouls, haunted houses and zombies all began.

It contains 11 complete short stories from the masters of gothic horror including Edgar Allen Poe, H G Wells,And H P Lovecraft - some familiar, some found mouldering in the crypts - so forming an anthology of some of the best chilling tales of all time.
