Spine-chilling short stories from three master horror writers
"Night in Whitechapel"
French short-story master Guy de Maupassant offers this chilling look
into one of the world's best known cities. When two young men make a
trek to London on a cold December evening, they expect to take in the
city and maybe a pub or two along the way. But a chance encounter with a
mysterious woman soon has them questioning not only the proceedings of
their evening but their sanity as well.
"Was It a Dream?"
Guy de Maupassant once again delivers a spine-tingling narrative. A
young man recounts the tragic death of his love, claimed by an unknown
illness. In his grief, he wanders the cemetery where she is buried to
find a dark secret that she, and many other corpses, share.
"Caterpillars"
Stories of the supernatural from E.F. Benson have been terrifying
audiences for decades--even making the transition to television
adaptation. In "Caterpillars," a man recalls his terrifying stay at a
haunted Italian villa. You will never look at caterpillars in the same
way.
"John Mortonson's Funeral"
Perhaps best known for The Devil's Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce is a
mainstay of nineteenth-century American literature. In "John Mortonson's
Funeral," Bierce adds horror to his satirical lens. The mourners at this
funeral will be forever changed.
