mortality with the world's greatest writers.
From Mark Twain to Jack London, this is a
unique literary vault of the living dead. Zombies, vampires, mummies, Frankenstein's monster and other reanimated corpses--the undead rise in a variety of frightening ways. And all are featured in this collection of classic stories by an impressive lineup of authors including: Mary Shelley, Lafcadio Hearn, Sir Walter Scott, Washington Irving, Guy De Maupassant, Amy Lowell, Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, along with a few lesser-known authors with comparable creepy talents for the grim and gruesome. If the dead cannot rest in peace, neither will the living.
