Phenomena (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by E. T. A. Hoffmann Pdf

This early work by E. T. A. Hoffmann was originally published in 1817. Born in Königsberg, East Prussia in 1776, Hoffmann's family were all jurists, and during his youth he was initially encouraged to pursue a career in law. However, in his late teens Hoffman became increasingly interested in literature and philosophy, and spent much of his time reading German classicists and attending lectures by, amongst others, Immanuel Kant. Hoffman went on to produce a great range of both literary and musical works. Probably Hoffman's most well-known story, produced in 1816, is 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King', due to the fact that – some seventy-six years later - it inspired Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. In the same vein, his story 'The Sandman' provided both the inspiration for Léo Delibes's ballet Coppélia, and the basis for a highly influential essay by Sigmund Freud, called 'The Uncanny'. (Indeed, Freud referred to Hoffman as the "unrivalled master of the uncanny in literature.") Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

The Country of the Comers-Back (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by Lafcadio Hearn Pdf

Lafcadio Hearn's “non-fiction” article was originally published by Harper's Magazine in 1889. Detailing skulduggery and supernatural phenomenon on the island of Mozambique, 'The Country of the Comers-Back' marked the first mention of the zombie in Western literature. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn was born in Lefkada, Greece in 1850. He was baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church, but in his infancy, his family relocated to Dublin, Ireland, where Hearn attended the Roman Catholic Ushaw College. Neither of these religious faiths stuck, however, and when he was nineteen Hearn went to the United States, where he began to work in journalism. He gained employment as a reporter for the Cincinnati Daily Enquirer in 1872, and became known as an investigative yet sensational journalist.

The Diary of Alonzo Typer (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by H. P. Lovecraft,George Henry Weiss Pdf

Alonzo Typer lived an exotic life as researcher of the occult, his studies taking him to many interesting places around the world including India, Nepal, Tibet, Indochina and Easter Island. His final adventure to a dilapidated manor house once owned by suspected witches, however, seemed on the surface much less exciting. Yet it was on this seemingly innocuous trip in 1908 that Alonzo disappeared, leaving only his diary as evidence of the terrible secrets that lay within the cursed house. Originally published in the “Weird Tales” in 1938, "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" is a classic example of horror fiction written by H. P. Lovecraft. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Read & Co. is publishing this classic short story now as part of our “Fantasy and Horror Classics” imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.

The Werewolf In Northern Europe, Russia, and Germany (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by Montague Summers Pdf

Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1928. In this volume, Summers explores the subject of the werewolf in Northern Europe and Russia, looking at evidence for their existence in literature, history, folklore, etc. This vintage book is highly recommended for those with an interest in the supernatural and the occult, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Summers' fascinating work. Also included is the essay, “The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition” by Caroline Taylor Stewart. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

The Whisperer in Darkness (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by H. P. Lovecraft,George Henry Weiss Pdf

When strange, monstrous carcasses are observed floating in the river following a historic flood in Vermont, instructor of literature Albert N. Wilmarth becomes involved in the controversial argument as to their authenticity. Sceptical, he embarks on an investigation of his own that pushes the boundaries of credulity, leading him to a horrific cult of ancient power and a race of extra-terrestrial beings with malign intentions. “The Whisperer in Darkness” is a 1931 novella by H. P. Lovecraft and part of his famous "Cthulhu Mythos". A chilling example of horror fiction by master of the genre not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed others in Lovecraft's Cthulhu series. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer of supernatural horror fiction. Though his works remained largely unknown and did not furnish him with a decent living, Lovecraft is today considered to be among the most significant writers of supernatural horror fiction of the twentieth century. Other notable works by this author include: “The Call of Cthulhu”, “The Rats in the Walls”, and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. Read & Co. is publishing this classic work now as part of our “Fantasy and Horror Classics” imprint in a new edition with a dedication by George Henry Weiss.
