The Doomed And the Dead

by Gareth Editorial Staff (Adapter)

This short-fiction series of spine-chilling stories will thrill young readers with its tales of horror, mystery, and the supernatural. Selections include both short prose and excerpts of longer works by well-known authors such as Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and Edgar Allan Poe, and introduces the work of a number of less widely known writers, including Gertrude Atherton, Frank Norris, Amelia B. Edwards, and J. Sheridan LeFanu. Brief biographies relate each piece of writing to its author's life and times and provide information about other works by each writer. The topic and full-color illustrations will capture the attention of reluctant readers.

Good collection of ghost stories. The tales use older styles, adding to the charm. Short biographies of the authors at the end were also a nice element.
