These twenty short stories include works by classic suspense/horror authors (Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King) and writers known for their work in less creepy arenas (E. Nesbit, Winston Churchill). Some of the stories are just not that scary; the real draw is Moser's satisfyingly dark, emblematic, sometimes gory woodcut illustrations. A brief introduction to the history of horror is included.
