Short Stories of E. F. Benson (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
About this book
This collection lures you into the idyllic settings of quiet lanes and genteel seaside towns, where the polished surface of Edwardian society gives way to the uncanny. Here, social veneers crack to reveal deep-seated fears, and visitations feel uncomfortably close, delivered with unnerving elegance.
From the brilliant mind of E. F. Benson, one of the greatest masters of supernatural horror and a personal favorite author of H. P. Lovecraft, comes a chilling collection of classic short stories. Benson's tales trade cheap thrills for a creeping, refined dread, proving that the most terrifying haunts are often the most subtle.
Discover the finest in classic ghost stories, including:
- The Room in the Tower
- The Bus Conductor
- Bagnell Terrace
- Monkeys
- Gavon's Eve
- The Sanctuary
- And No Bird Sings
This volume is essential for fans of weird fiction and the subtle, literary art of the supernatural tale.
