Dark Fantasy Stories (Illustrated): The Best Horror Classics by S.S. WolffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This Anthology selects classic horror tales from some of the greats: 2 from Lord Dunsany; 1 each from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert E. Howard, H. G. Wells, and H. P. Lovecraft, a wonderful collection of the horror and fantasy of the 19th and 20th centuries. This was my first introduction to the work of Lord Dunsany, and I found him to have delved into a similar collective consciousness as my idol H. P. Lovecraft (which made his work both somewhat familiar, and yet new). This is an excellent sampler collection to try out these authors, and to sample a flavour of 19th and 20th century "dark literature."
