Robert E. Howard was one among the greatest writers of adventure and fantasy stories. In a writing career that thrived for over a period of twelve years, Howard authored more than hundred stories that have been published in various pulp magazines of his time. Howard was responsible for the creation of the sub-genre of this kind of fiction, which is also called heroic fantasy. His character of Conan has been compared to the likes of Tarzan, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Batman and James Bond. This prolific writer was one of the most gifted and skillful storytellers of his time and even to this day, is a highly read author, whose works are still being printed for publication. Till date, his work is inspirational for the new generation of fantasy and adventure writers.In this volume the critic August Nemo selected some if his most interesting stories:Worms of the EarthThe Queen of Black CoastPigeons from HellThe Children of the NightRed NailsThe Twilight of the Grey GodsThe Shadow of the Vulture

Robert Louis Stevenson has an important place in the history of the short story in the British Isles: the form had been elaborated and developed in America, France and Russia from the mid-19th century, but it was Stevenson who initiated the British tradition. Stevensons Calvinist creation and his constant struggle against ill health led to his preoccupation with death and the darker side of human nature as revealed in his work. Despite Stevensons claim that "fiction is to adult man what the toy represents to the child," he had, at the end of his life, mastered a huge variety of types of fiction, from tales of historical adventures and novels of swordsmen to horror stories in Gothic style.In this selection of his most interesting works you will find the following stories:The Waif WomanThe Bottle ImpThrawn JanetMarkheimThe Body SnatcherOlallaStrange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Le Fanu worked in many genres but remains best known for his horror fiction. He was a meticulous craftsman and frequently reworked plots and ideas from his earlier writing in subsequent pieces. Many of his novels, for example, are expansions and refinements of earlier short stories. He specialised in tone and effect rather than "shock horror", and liked to leave important details unexplained and mysterious. He avoided overt supernatural effects: in most of his major works, the supernatural is strongly implied but a "natural" explanation is also possible.In this book you will find 7 short stories of horror and mystery specially selected by August Nemo:- Carmilla- Green Tea- Mr. Justice Harbottle- The Familiar- The Room in the Dragon Volant- Jim Sulivans Adventures in the Great Snow- Haunted
