About Atmospheric Horror Stories: Setting the scene in the worst way…

Horror stories are designed from the onset to create a story that will suddenly go very wrong and create a sheer horror and hell not only for the characters in the story but by extension ourselves. In this carefully crafted volume, our authors use their talents to create an atmosphere that might start with tingling tension but builds and builds until we can trust nothing but the certainty of the next few words and the wrath they will bring. 1 - Atmospheric Horror Stories - An Introduction 2 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving 3 - Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by M R James 4 - For the Blood is the Life by F Marion Crawford 5 - The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain 6 - A Diagnosis of Death by Ambrose Bierce 7 - Let Loose by Mary Cholmondeley 8 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood 9 - The Prediction by Mary Diana Dods writing as David Lyndsey 10 - Vampirismus or Aurelia by E T A Hoffman 11 - Caterpillars by E F Benson 12 - Smee by A M Burrage 13 - Count Magnus by M R James 14 - The Crimson Weaver by R Murray Gilchrist 15 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman 16 - The Villa Désirée by May Sinclair 17 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood 18 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant 19 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant 20 - The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland 21 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach 22 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach
