A mesmerizing collection of weird short stories conjuring strong emotion, from curiosity to downright fear.
The mysteries of our universe and a terrifying sense of the unknown are laid bare in this anthology of weird fiction. Featuring stories from Edith Nesbit, Algernon Blackwood, Robert Louis Stevenson and more, Classic Weird Stories celebrates the unsettling and the unexplainable side of life.
Vividly imagined and richly described, each of these tales is a journey beyond normality. Danger lurks everywhere, and pounces at the drop of a hat in Lafcadio Hearn’s ‘Mujina’, a Japanese folk tale where a man’s lonely nighttime walk turns into a nightmare. Charlotte Riddell describes the unbridled power of evil in ‘Sandy the Tinker’, in which a man is forced to make a life-or-death choice. Twisted minds conduct experiments on themselves and others in Edith Nesbit and Robert Louis Stevenson’s fiction, while other bizarre, paranormal experiences have onlookers struggling to believe what their instincts tell them. In Ambrose Bierce’s ‘The Damn Thing’, a sceptical jury stand around the corpse of a man who died in suspicious circumstances. For the terrified witness, words fail to convey what exactly he saw...
