"This exceptional compilation-a veritable collector's volume-contains more than fifty short stories, novellas, and poems, by some of the most distinguished writers of all time. Masterful works by Bran Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, Sheridan LeFanu, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Tennessee Williams, Isaa Asimov, in addition to little known masterpieces of fantasy and terror by Stanley Ellin, Patricia Highsmith, John Dickson Carr, Damon Runyon, among others, makes this one of the most wide ranging, outstanding collections of its kind. Of particular interest are the tales "Riddles in the Dark" by J.R.R. Tolkien, reprinted in its original version for the first time in nearly half a century, and "The Pool of the Stone God," an obscure work of eminent fantasy writer A. Merritt. This volume is expertly compiled by Marvin Kaye, who provides fascinating prefatory notes to each selection and an annotated bibliography of other recommended readings, as well as an Introduction and Afterword providing further insights about the genres of terror and supernatural. Now sit back, and prepare to be transfixed by tales of murder and madness, strange rituals, creatures from beyond the grave, and all manner of weird apparitions. They're sure to provide hours of irresistible, spellbinding reading."--Jacket

A darkly luminous new anthology collecting the most terrifying horror stories by renowned female authors, presenting anew these forgotten classics to the modern reader. Readers are well aware that Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein: few know how many other tales of terror she created. In addition to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote some surprisingly effective horror stories. The year after Little Women appeared, Louisa May Alcott published one of the first mummy tales. These ladies weren’t alone. From the earliest days of Gothic and horror fiction, women were exploring the frontiers of fear, dreaming dark dreams that will still keep you up at night. More Deadly than the Male includes unexpected horror tales by Louisa May Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and forgotten writers like Mary Cholmondely and Charlotte Riddell, whose work deserves a modern audience. Readers will be drawn in by the familiar names and intrigued by their rare stories. In The Beckside Boggle, Alice Rea brings a common piece of English folklore to hair-raising life, while Helene Blavatsky, best known as the founder of the spiritualist Theosophical Society, paints a picture of A Witch’s Den as vivid as any vision conjured up by the great pulp writers. Edith Wharton’s great novel The Age of Innocence won her the Pulitzer prize, yet her horror stories are known only to a comparative few. Readers will discover lost and forgotten women who wrote horror every bit as effectively as their male contemporaries. They will learn about their lives and careers, the challenges they faced as women working in a male-dominated field, the way they overcame those challenges, and the way they approached the genre—which was often subtler, more psychological, and more disturbing.
