Ghosts, murder, demonic possession, and psychological torment: these are just some of the subjects taken up by the unparalleled writers in this superb collection. Lovers of the supernatural will discover the true masters of the genre, and readers of classic literature will discover another side of their favorite Victorian, French, and American authors. In La Grande Bretèche by the great French nineteenth-century writer Honoré de Balzac, a doctor discovers an abandoned manor with a disturbing history.
