This volume contains all of Robert Louis Stevenson s supernatural short
stories, showcasing both his mastery of the genre and his interest in
the otherworldly and the strange ways the human brain can distort
reality. They include "The Body Snatchers," the chilling tale of an
avenging ghost; "Olalla," one of the great horror stories in the English
language and possibly one of the best werewolf stories ever written, and
"The Waif Woman," in which Stevenson tried to recreate the style of an
Icelandic Saga and explore the destructive effects of greed."
