Includes 57 Stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is no ordinary anthology. The editors have selected the best ghost stories from around the world, ranging from Greek and Roman times to the twentieth century, but have concentrated mainly on the two writers that stand out as the masters of the form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Sheridan Le Fanu and M.R. James are widely considered the greatest ghost story writers of the 19th and the 20th century, respectively. Out of the 57 tales included in this volume, 22 belong to Le Fanu, and 20 to M.R. James. The other 15 form an anthology in itself. They trace the development of the ghost story from antiquity to our times, providing the perfect background for the study of Le Fanu and James, and the tradition they helped to refine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Monreal and Gabriela Garcia are the editors of the following anthologies: \"Masters of Horror, Suspense and the Supernatural: 100 Stories,\" \"The Vampire Genome: The Best Vampire Stories, Poems and Essays,\" \"Trail of the Necronomicon: An Anthology of the Stories and Novels that Influenced H.P.
