Hardback, Very Good condition, missing dust jacket

Genre: Horror Anthology

Horror is in the mind and of the darkness. Those who seek to indulge in nightmare will find more than enough here to set their pulses racing -- satanic figures grope in the shadows, people long dead return to haunt the scenes of their lifetime, victims fly shrieking from a doom they cannot escape. Drawn from 200 years of short story writing, Great Irish Tales of Horror includes twenty-four of the most powerful examples of horror ever conceived. Many of them are all the more terrifying because the looming dread is understated or unseen: food for the imagination.

The writers extend from the giants of classic horror fiction -- Bram Stoker, Sax Rohmer, Joseph Sheridan, Le Fanu, and M. P. Shiel -- through such masters as George Bernard Shaw, J.. M. Synge, and Dorothy Macardle. Also included are some of the great modern exponents of the genre, among them William Trevor, Brian Cleeve, Peter Tremayne, Jack Higgins, and Hollywood director Neil Jordan. Each brings his or her unique flair for creating an atmosphere that sends shivers up the spine and leaves the reader with the uneasy sense of being watched.
