First published in 1944, it has stood the test of time and become a classic in the field. <i>Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural</i> is rivaled only by David G. Hartwell's <i>The Dark Descent</i> as <i>the</i> essential horror anthology. Fortunately, there's little overlap: of the 52 tales in this anthology, only 5 are duplicated in <i>The Dark Descent</i>. Included here are such memorable stories as W.W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw"; Saki's "Sredni Vashtar" and "The Open Window"; Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game"; Conrad Aiken's "Silent Snow, Secret Snow"; Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan"; along with gems by E.F. Benson, H.G. Wells, Ambrose Bierce, Rudyard Kipling, Walter de la Mare, M.R. James, Guy de Maupassant, and O. Henry. 2707401 1944 Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural (Modern Library) total:58|5:1|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 58 255 107 11 5 2 false false Thu Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 22 10:12:40 -0800 2008 Fri Jun 20 05:58:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Tue Jul 22 13:53:36 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 21:32:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Feb 22 03:52:53 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 03:54:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 09 18:50:10 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 18:59:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 17:51:03 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 21:36:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 21 17:34:29 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 16:47:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 23 09:17:53 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 09:22:24 -0700 2008 caterpillars
