Tales of Horror: Terrifying Stories to Keep You Awake Past Midnight Bill Bowers Editor

Here is a collection of classic stories that deserve to be celebrated, and others that are less well known but deserve recognition from modern readers. Some of these stories have practically defined the horror genre, such as â The Monkeyâ s Pawâ by W.W. Jacobs, one of the most frequently anthologized English-language stories of all time. Also included are two stories by Edgar Allan Poe: â The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemarâ and â The Cask of Amontillado.â Others are â The Damned Thingâ by Ambrose Bierce, â The Mummyâ s Footâ by Théophile Gautier, â The Night Wireâ by H. F. Arnold, â At Abdul Aliâ s Graveâ by E. F. Benson, â The Secret of the Growing Goldâ by Bram Stoker, â The Story of the Brazilian Catâ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, â In the Vaultâ by H. P. Lovecraft, and many, many others.
