### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Chill for Autumn Evenings
*by F***T on October 20, 2018*

The leather binding and gilt-edged pages make this a beauty, but more than that are the superb traditional ghost and terror stories within. This is a book for discriminating readers only, yet the cost is within anyone's reach. Rather than vulgar stories filled with blood and hysterics, you get just the right touch of classic chill for your autumnal (and wintry) nights. There are 55(!) tales in all. A short sampling of titles includes Edith Wharton's excellent "Kerfol" (set in France, not England!); Saki's "The Open Window," with its humorous but chilling denouement; Marion Crawford's nocturnal "Screaming Skull"; and Stevenson's story of midnight dread, "The Body Snatchers," about an Edinburgh doctor who seeks corpses for laboratory instruction but is not too scrupulous about their provenance. So many great writers lie within: Poe ("William Wilson" and the forbidding "House of Usher"); Kafka, Henry James, Ambrose Bierce, the incomparable Algernon Blackwood, Polidori, W.W. Jacobs, Bram Stoker, Dickens, and M.R. James, just to name a few. If you are a connoisseur, you'll be familiar with some but, even so, they are all gathered here in one volume so that you needn't go searching for scattered remnants of the whole.This book is one of the three greatest volumes of its kind. The other two are Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural (a classic and still in print and available new at Amazon), and Tales of Terror and the Supernatural, edited by Marvin Kaye, available here only through third-party sellers now. I must confess to opening the latter late one cold night, the house still and quiet and approaching the midnight hour, then turning to a story titled "Lazurus," reading the first two pages, and thinking, "No, I'm not ready for this one this late," then closing it with a small shudder before pulling the blankets tightly around me. That's just one reason Marvin Kaye's book is worth the effort to find.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining horror listening 🎶🔰
*by K***R on November 15, 2023*

I purchased this book two years ago and I just finished it.It says 500+ stories but there is only 210 classic horror stories but what do you want for $0.49. As with all box 📦 sets you will like some better than others but that is normal for multiple story books 📚.I would highly recommend this box 📦set and various authors to readers of fantasy horror mystery novels 👍🔰. 2023 👒😀💘🏡😕

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!
