From premier writers including Anne Rice and Bram Stoker, the stories in this collection represent some of the finest horror writing spanning the past two centuries. Here are gothic melodramas set in Russia and Germany, as well as more modern twists on the vampire legend that take place in contemporary England and the United States. These are tales of decadence, lust, and loathing; they capture the dark side of the human psyche, dead and undead. Making few concessions to the squeamish, the tales in this collection will keep readers awake at night.

Stories include:
• "Dracula's Guest" by Bram Stoker
• "Phantoms" by Ivan Turgenev
• "The Lovely Lady" by D.H. Lawrence
• "The Master of Rampling Gate" by Anne Rice
• "The Undead" by Robert Bloch


Each of these finely-crafted tales is guaranteed to leave readers with goosebumps.

A foreward from the late actor Peter Cushing, who starred in numerous vampire and horror films, is a fitting introduction to this collection of horrifying and captivating tales.

Prepare to be terrified as you enjoy some of the best vampire stories ever written ... if you dare.]]> 32396 3.74 210 29 1992 1533483 0881847011 9780881847017 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1533483.The_Mammoth_Book_of_Ghost_Stories_2 3.70 10 32396 3.74 210 29 1991 35822 0486297160 9780486297163 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168644971m/35822.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168644971s/35822.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35822.Best_Ghost_and_Horror_Stories 3.36 11 Dracula.

Here are twenty-seven tales in a winning mix of ancient and modern that will give Christmas and the new year an extra wintry chill. There are supernatural tales of suspense and horror from such illustrious pens as Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and L. P. Hartley and less well known tales from experts in their fields. Frank Cowper's Christmas Eve on the Haunted Hulk will leave more than timbers shivering; Buggane by Peter Tremayne and The Uninvited by John Glasby tell of horrors that might visit us all only too soon.

Chillers for Christmas is the perfect antidote for those surfeited on good cheer and high spirits.]]> 32396 3.74 210 29 1989 945434 0881845930 9780881845938 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/945434.Victorian_Ghost_Stories_By_Eminent_Women_Writers 3.50 2 32396 3.74 210 29 1990 6492043 1905784090 9781905784097 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6492043-the-snow-image-and-other-stories-of-the-supernatural 5.00 1 7799 3.33 68606 3256 32396 3.74 210 29 2008 3125514 0786700890 9780786700899 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3125514.Modern_Ghost_Stories_By_Eminent_Women_Writers 0.0 0 32396 3.74 210 29 1992 1533486 1586637363 9781586637361 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184832582m/1533486.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184832582s/1533486.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1533486.Phantastic_Book_of_Ghost_Stories 4.00 1 32396 3.74 210 29 2002 3793308 1899562354 9781899562350 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3793308.The_Haunted_Chair_and_Other_Stories 4.00 1 3348 3.55 60 11 32396 3.74 210 29 1997 4748722 0747232768 9780747232766 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1248353300m/4748722.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1248353300s/4748722.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4748722.Ghosts_for_Christmas 4.00 1 32396 3.74 210 29 1989 1953459 1852740221 9781852740221 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1953459.Ghosts_Scho 4.00 1 32396 3.74 210 29 1987 7011765 0747238588 9780747238584 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260392401m/7011765.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1260392401s/7011765.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7011765-crime-for-christmas 0.0 0 There are contributions from Thomas Hardy and Arthur Conan Doyle from the Victorian Age; classic murder mysteries from Agatha Christie and Edgar Wallace, and contemporary crimes from Ellis Peters and H.R.F. Keating. Of particular note is Wilkie Collins' "Mr Wray's Cash Box", reprinted for the first time since it was originally published in 1852.
Only at Christmastide could Sherlock Holmes discover the connection between a missing goose and a jewellery robbery; only Miss Marple could follow so convoluted a murder trail as that which baffles the police at the Keston Spa Hydro; only H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune could possibly uncover the murderer who so brutally disrupted the children's home annual party.

Una raccolta di racconti, molto neri e talvolta gialli, di altrettante autrici inglesi, alcune assai famose, che si sono prese una breve vacanza ai margini del soprannaturale, nelle misteriose regioni dove è del tutto naturale incontrare uno spettro o incorrere in avventure che hanno ben poco di plausibile.
