The Supernatural Short Story Collection includes 3 books

Fantastic Tales by Fitz-James O’Brien

In the field of supernatural and fantastic literature, certain names come readily to mind – E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft – but that of Fitz-James O’Brien has been unjustly overlooked and nearly forgotten since his premature death in 1862, during the American Civil War.

Supernatural Short Stories by Sir Walter Scott

Mostly set in the Highlands of Scotland and presenting a vast array of memorable characters, the stories in this collection are tinged with an element of the supernatural or explore themes of murder and guilt, revealing the author’s great talent in the shorter-fiction form. This volume also includes a long excerpt from Scott’s Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, which questions how much credit can be given to ghost stories and alleged supernatural occurrences.

Supernatural Tales by Robert Louis Stevenson

Alongside his celebrated Gothic horror story ‘Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, this volume contains all of Robert Louis Stevenson’s supernatural tales, showcasing both his mastery of the genre and his interest in the otherworldly and the weird ways the human brain can distort reality.
