Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural

A mid-twentieth century anthology of classic ghost, horror and supernatural stories, in which Forster's name is linked to the collection through his contribution. It gathers tales of fear and the uncanny from a range of English and American writers, from the nineteenth century into the early twentieth. Readers will find haunted houses, strange visitations and quiet dread rather than gore. It is best approached as a sampler of the genre, useful for seeing the tradition in which Forster's own supernatural stories belong.
