This collection of strange tales centers on the concept of death, dying, and the afterlife. These stories are not meant to be scary, in the traditional sense, but rather disturbing and even thought provoking. Many of these are written by easily recognizable authors, such as Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and Rudyard Kipling, and others are by more obscure writers from the same era. Also included in this volume are ten original pictures from the Cemetery Photography gallery of Osie Turner. They all appear beautifully on both color and grayscale readers. Contents include: The Dead Valley by Ralph Adams Cram August Heat by William Fryer Harvey The Altar of the Dead by Henry James The Highwaymen by Lord Dunsany The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar by Edgar Allan Poe They by Rudyard Kipling From the Dead by Edith Nesbit The Satyr by Alma Newton The Wood of the Dead by Algernon Blackwood The Return by Walter de la Mare

A true classic! This is one of the best pieces of anti-war literature ever written. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler holds no punches in this indictment against the war profiteering racket and the unnecessary loss of life that is the end result of abhorrent industry.

Moving beyond established ideas of haunted Henry James, this book argues that death is as important a concept for understanding James's fiction as gender, sexuality and modernity, which have come to dominate James studies. Combining formal analysis and close reading with theoretical and historical approaches and focusing on key novels and tales from across James's career, Andrew Cutting explores five instances of Jamesian death: sacrifice, the corpse, morbidity, afterlife and demography. This is the first full-length study of this subject.

In 1898, Henry James wrote a novella that would become one of the most famous and critically discussed ghost stories ever written, The Turn of the Screw. Three other examples of James’s tales of the supernatural, “The Altar of the Dead,” “The Beast in the Jungle,” and “The Jolly Corner,” are included in this edition. These texts reveal on both the thematic and narrative levels James’s deepest concerns as a writer. The texts in this edition are all drawn from the New York Edition of James’s works. The introduction traces the extensive critical debate around The Turn of the Screw, and situates the texts in contemporary discussions of the supernatural. Appendices include material on the tales’ reception, James’s writings on the supernatural, and the study of the supernatural in the nineteenth century.
