For Readers Who Prefer Their Classics Possessed

This Halloween collection gathers sinister visitors, dangerous experiments, unsettling transformations, and people whose curiosity really should have had limits. Something is stirring in the laboratory, someone at the door would very much like to come in, and waking up may be the worst part of the nightmare. Moving between Gothic dread, occult intrigue, and the horror of finding yourself suddenly, horribly different, these tales make familiar comforts feel distinctly unreliable. It’s for readers who like their monsters complicated, their magic ill-advised, and their bedtime just one more chapter away.
