This collection of ten horror stories, characterized by a taste for the supernatural, the mystical and the macabre, evokes atmospheres close to the narratives of Edgar Allan Poe. Chambers left his mark on twentieth-century horror literature and particularly on the master of mystery and terror H.P. Lovecraft, who said, "This work reaches extraordinary heights of cosmic fear."
