Description
In this Tooth and Claw, you’ll find a ripe selection of some of the best gothic vampire and werewolf stories. Some are unconventional, but this only adds to their richness. All are primarily cautionary tales reminding us to take care around strangers (and sometimes close friends or relatives), to be ever mindful of our surroundings, and most of all, to protect ourselves from the terrors that lurk in the darkness. Of the selected stories in this anthology, most of the authors will be familiar to the readers of this genre of fiction, such as Ernst Benjamin Salomo Raupauch, Mary Helena Fortune, Phil Robinson, Mary E. Braddon, Fred M. White, Hume Nesbit, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Morgan Robertson and E. F. Benson for the Vampire stories, and George MacDonald, Clemence Housman, Rudyard Kipling, Alan French, S. Carleton, Barry Pain, Algernon Blackwood, H. D. Beresford and Jessie Douglas Kerruish, for the Werewolf stories, just to name a few. It is our hope that by revisiting these harsh, adventurous, and sometimes dreadful stories that we can enliven your reading experience one more time. Enjoy. 6 x 9, softcover.
