This book presents a collection of mystical, mysterious, and creepy stories created by Western European and American writers of the XVIII–XX centuries. It tells of ghosts, vampires, witches, resurrected corpses, nightmarish dreams, deals with the devil, and love undaunted by death, narrated by both famous authors such as A. Conan Doyle, W. Collins, E.A. Poe, P. Merimée, E. A. Poe, R. L. Stevenson, G. Meyrink, H. F. Lovecraft, A. Beers, and relatively unknown creators of scary plots like E. Wharton, E. Mitchell, E. and H. Heron, A. Edwards. Echoing each other through characters, situations, and meanings, the gothic plots of the book reveal to the reader, behind the veil of mundane reality, an irrational and terrifying world that undermines the self-assured claims of omniscience typical of the modern man.
