Strange and unsettling, The Eerie Book is an anthology of gothic tales drawn from folklore and legend, beautifully accompanied by Macdougall's haunting illustrations.

Edited by Margaret Armour and first published in 1898, these supernatural tales were written by some of the nineteenth century's finest storytellers, including Edgar Allan Poe, Hans Christian Andersen, and Mary Shelley. William Brown Macdougall's bold and atmospheric illustrations perfectly complement Armour's chilling collection, intensifying the text.

A forgotten classic of gothic literature, The Eerie Book is a volume to be savoured by lovers of ghost stories and dark romance.
