Fear affects us all in some way, shape or form. Whilst we would rather shy away from it in real life, when it comes to stories, we tend to move towards it.It’s a strange attraction given that for most of us undoubtedly the word ‘Supernatural’ is one riven with dark intent and malicious promise. In this volume of short stories our malevolent authors, including the talents of H P Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, Charles Dickens, M R James, Victor Hugo, E T A Hoffman and many, many others, seem to take great delight in assaulting our senses with heart stopping narratives designed to put the fear of God, the Devil and just about every other form of disturbed terror into our eager hearts and minds.1 - The Supernatural - An Anthology of Fear - An Introduction2 - The Horla by Guy de Maupassant3 - The Facts In The Case of Monsieur Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe4 - The Trial for Murder by Charles Dickens5 - A Ghost Story by Mark Twain6 - An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street by Sheridan Le Fanu7 - The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving8 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling9 - The Moon Bog by H P Lovecraft10 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit11 - The Furnished Room by O Henry12 - The Open Window by Saki13 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster14 - The Upper Berth by F Marion Crawford15 - The Bus Conductor by E F Benson16 - The Phantom Coach by Amelia Edwards17 - What Was It by Fitz James O'Brien18 - N by Arthur Machen19 - The Sumach by Ulric Daubeny20 - Hodge by Elinor Mordaunt21 - John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood22 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs23 - My Adventure in Norfolk by A J Alan24 - The Ankardyne Pew by W F Harvey25 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo26 - The Lost Reflection by E T A Hoffman27 - Lost Hearts by M R James28 - The Body Snatcher by Robert Louis Stevenson
