Csenge Virag Zalka, a Hungarian storyteller, has collected 55 folktales from around the world about supernatural abilities like superhuman strength, invulnerability, flying, heightened senses, speed, invisibility, healing, agility, precognition, telepathy, fire manipulation, teleportation, water powers, and shifting. These tales represent powers that people have dreamed of, conjured up and strived for through the ages. Many of the powers are present in popular culture, making the superheroes who wield them the direct descendants of characters such as the princess who could see through walls or the invulnerable Isfandiyar. Zalka excluded stories about magic or about gods with divine powers, and focused on less well-known stories. She included information on similar heroes, the ability in the story, sources of the powers, the origin of the story, teachings in it, the recommended age group, sources, variants, and comments.

Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by Academy Award-winning director of The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro American Supernatural Tales is the ultimate collection of weird and frightening American short fiction. As Stephen King will attest, the popularity of the occult in American literature has only grown since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. The book celebrates the richness of this tradition with chilling contributions from some of the nation's brightest literary lights, including Poe himself, H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and—of course—Stephen King. This volumes also includes "The Yellow Sign," the most horrific story from The King in Yellow, the classic horror collection by Robert W. Chambers featured on HBO's hit TV series True Detective. By turns phantasmagoric, spectral, and demonic, this is a frighteningly good collection of stories. Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro’s favorites, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ray Russell’s short story “Sardonicus,” considered by Stephen King to be “perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written,” to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere.

In the tradition of Dickens, Jackson, King, Coleridge, Poe, and other master writers, these frightful stories conjure the creaks and shadows of the very places where they came to life. Must read stories include The Exorcism of Sarah Sullivan, A Family of Three - The Fiendish Union with an Incubus, Stillborn - The Legend of Pontianak, Night of the Living Pocong and Death Battle 2019 - An Urban Legend. This book is a one of a kind combination of horror stories and a variety of ghost stories from around the world with a supernatural twist. Dr Elmi Zulkarnain Osman has creatively managed to craft out a sophisticated and hair-raising anthology. These exceptionally diverse horror ghost stories are definitely not for the faint-hearted. A definite must for any aficionado of horror and ghost stories. Excerpts from 'Night of the Living Pocong': "Okay, so these are generally referred to as Pocong," began Rayyan, very matter of fact, "There have been quite a surprising number of sightings of these creatures and effectively, they are zombies.""What, zombies? Like the undead?""Yeah, they were once just normal people like me and you. Sometimes they died naturally, sometimes prematurely and they are wrapped up in a kain kafan, a white shroud secured around the head and feet, which is part of the traditional burials that go on around these parts," explained Rayyan."Right, so they come back to life?""Not exactly Adam. It's said that after death the soul will stay on earth for around 45 days before it passes on to the next life, but they can only go if they are at peace with their previous life. If they don't make peace by then or know they won't be successful in doing so in time to pass, they tend to jump out of their graves."Excerpts from 'A Family of Three - The Fiendish Union with an Incubus': The Incubus entered her. The breath in her lungs exited. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She felt his member stretching her in every direction. Her flesh was tearing around him. She felt him in her intestines, rupturing vessels and bruising her innards. The blood ran down her body and onto the white sheets. Every thrust left a pang of ache. Her body twitched like a bug that had been squashed and left to suffer.If you enjoy reading creepy ghost stories and spine-chilling horror fiction with a supernatural twist, you'll love this anthology!
