Edited by Herbert A. Wise and Phyllis Fraser, the volume assembles contributors including Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Bram Stoker, Wilkie Collins, M.R. James, Edith Wharton, W.W. Jacobs, Guy de Maupassant, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Oliver Onions, among others. Lovecraft is represented by both The Rats in the Walls and The Dunwich Horror. At 1,080 pages, it remains one of the most substantial single-volume surveys of supernatural fiction produced during the mid-twentieth century. This 1944 First Modern Library Edition appears in the publisher's characteristic tan cloth boards with greenish cast, red spine panel with gilt lettering, and red oval publisher device to the front board. Printed by H. Wolff during the wartime Modern Library production era, the volume reflects the durable trade binding style associated with early 1940s Modern Library issues. For collectors of horror anthologies, Modern Library editions, or readers seeking a broad historical gathering of Gothic and weird fiction from Poe through early twentieth-century supernatural literature, this anthology remains a foundational mid-century compilation. …
