50+ Masterpieces of Occult & Supernatural Fiction: At the Mountains of Madness, The Call of Cthulhu, The Willows, The Monkey’s Paw, The Turn of the Screw and others

by E.F. Benson, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood

Occult and Supernatural fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that exploits or is centered on supernatural themes, often contradicting naturalist assumptions of the real world.
In its broadest definition, supernatural fiction overlaps with examples of weird fiction, horror fiction, vampire literature, ghost story, and fantasy. Elements of supernatural fiction can be found in writing from the genre of science fiction. Amongst academics, readers and collectors, however, supernatural fiction is often classed as a discrete genre defined by the elimination of "horror", "fantasy", and elements important to other genres.The one genre supernatural fiction appears to embrace in its entirety is the traditional ghost story.
