Podrobné informácie

This stunning anthology of classic colonial suspense fiction plunges deep into the native soil from which American horror literature first sprang. While European writers of the Gothic and bizarre evoked ruined castles and crumbling abbeys, their American counterparts looked back to the Colonial era's stifling religion and its dark and threatening woods.Today the best-known tale of Colonial horror is Washington Irving's ';The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' although Irving's story is probably best-known today from various movie versions it has inspired. Colonial horror tales of other prominent American authorsNathaniel Hawthorne and James Fenimore Cooper among themare overshadowed by their bestsellers and are difficult to find in modern libraries. Many other pioneers of American horror fiction are presented afresh in this breathtaking volume for today's reading public. By highlighting these writers for contemporary readers, the book helps bring their namesand their workback from the dead.Featuring stories by: Cotton Mather, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, H. P. Lovecraft, and many more.
