Scott Fitzgerald, along with surprising discoveries like Ralph Adams Cram's "The Dead Valley," Emma Francis Dawson's "An Itinerant House," and Julian Hawthorne's "Absolute Evil." "American Fantastic Tales" offers an unforgettable ride through strange and visionary realms. As this pathbreaking two-volume anthology demonstrates, it is a tradition with many unexpected detours and hidden chambers, and one that continues to evolve, finding new forms and new themes as it explores the bad dreams that lurk around the edges-if not in the unacknowledged heart--of the everyday. P. Peter Straub, one of today's masters of horror and fantasy, offers an authoritative and diverse gathering of stories calculated to unsettle and delight. "A stupendous, spellbinding reading experience waiting to be had." -Jonathan Lethem. Lovecraft, Robert E. In the ghost-haunted Victorian and Edwardian eras, writers including Henry James, Edith Wharton, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Ambrose Bierce explore ever more refined varieties of spectral invasion and disintegrating selfhood. In the tales of Irving, Poe, and Hawthorne, the bright prospects of the New World face an uneasy reckoning with the forces of darkn
A past president of the Horror Writers of America and multiple award winner, he lives in New York City. He is the New York Times bestselling author of a dozen novels, including the horror classic Ghost Story and The Talisman, which he cowrote with Stephen King. Peter Straub is one of America’s foremost authors of supernatural and suspense fiction. . His latest novel, Bla
. Whitehead, David H. Keller, Seabury Quinn, Francis Stevens, H.L. Some of the selections are already unquestioned classics-Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," Poe's "Berenice," Gilman's "The Yellow Wall Paper." Although, any reader may find Robert E. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry S. Lovecraft and August Derleth just as worthy. Even those most well-acquainted with the genre will be pleasantly surprised with the tales by lesser-known writers, such as Willa Cather's "Consequences" and Gertrude Atherton's "The Striding Place." Editor Straub highlights a Feminist strain with female writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Harriet Prescott Spoofed, Kate Chopin, Madeline Yale Wynne, Alice Brown-to name a few, offering an interesting reassessment of a crucial era in fantastic fiction. In a time when the Fantastic is rega
Good collection of Horror Storieswait, can I say that? These volumes offer an immense amount of excellent material in an attractive and durable format and most horror / supernatural fans will have no doubts about snapping these up. There are a few caveats, some typical of Library of America volumes, and several specifically related to Straub's editorial choices but as long as you don't object too strenuously to these small issues, there is no serious impairment to purchase.First, LoA never allocates enough space for editors. Straub has a wee tiny 3 page intro and a few biographical notes on the aut. Awesome! Fabulous! FANTASTIQUE!!! Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire, Esq. I love almost all of the stories in this first volume of American Fantastic Tales edited by Peter Straub. (But, Peter darling, I have to agree with S. T. concerning ye Seabury Quinn tale -- phooey!) I was especially happy to see so many women writers in this first edition, including Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, and some with whom I am completely unfamiliar. To be introduced to authors that I have not read is one of the aspects that makes such a book a real treasure. Too, there are stories of which I have read but have not been able to locate. O.
