Brought together in one volume, this is an anthology of supernatural tales, as recorded by a parish priest in southern Ireland. These recollections represent the legacy of the late Francis Purcell, P. P. of Drumcoolagh. This collection of 9 short stories/ novellas include "The Last Heir of Castle Connor," "The Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter," and "Billy Malowney´s Taste of Love and Glory." Horror can take many forms. A creeping sense of doom. A pit of fear. The unseen terror which lurks just out of sight. The Purcell Papers documents the most astonishing and terrifying tales of old Europe. Are you brave enough to find out for yourself? The Essential Library presents All Gothic Horror, a multi-volume series featuring the most spine-tingling tales of classic terror.

The Gothic novel, which flourished from about 1765 until 1825, revels in the horrible and the supernatural, in suspense and exotic settings. This volume, with its erudite introduction by Mario Praz, presents three of the most celebrated Gothic novels: The Castle of Otranto, published pseudonymously in 1765, is one of the first of the genre and the most truly Gothic of the three. Vathek (1786), an oriental tale by an eccentric millionaire, exotically combines Gothic romanticism with the vivacity of The Arabian Nights and is a narrative tour de force. The story of Frankenstein (1818) and the monster he created is as spine-chilling today as it ever was; as in all Gothic novels, horror is the keynote.

Gothic as a form of fiction-making has played a major role in Western culture since the late eighteenth century. In this volume, fourteen world-class experts on the Gothic provide thorough and revealing accounts of this haunting-to-horrifying type of fiction from the 1760s (the decade of The Castle of Otranto, the first so-called 'Gothic story') to the end of the twentieth century (an era haunted by filmed and computerized Gothic simulations). Along the way, these essays explore the connections of Gothic fictions to political and industrial revolutions, the realistic novel, the theatre, Romantic and post-Romantic poetry, nationalism and racism from Europe to America, colonized and post-colonial populations, the rise of film and other visual technologies, the struggles between 'high' and 'popular' culture, changing psychological attitudes towards human identity, gender and sexuality, and the obscure lines between life and death, sanity and madness. The volume also includes a chronology and guides to further reading.
