(Author) Eunice Hetherington Hetherington EuniceMore exceptional tales to thrill and chill ghost story enthusiasts Anthologies of short fiction, irrespective of their theme, are perennially popular and have many devotees. It follows that collections of ghost and horror stories have a receptive audience, combining, as they do, two compatible genres in one intriguing package. The success of an anthology is dependent, to a large extent, on its underlying concept. For The Third Leonaur Book of Ghost and Horror Stories, Eunice Hetherington has selected not only excellent tales that will chill the blood, but authors who may not be over familiar to aficionados. Many of the authors included here did not write sufficient stories to fill a volume dedicated only to their work. Here are little-known tales from the 'golden age' of strange and weird fiction by Horacio Quiroga, William Gilbert, Vincent James O'Sullivan, Hume Nesbit and several others. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
