The Folio Book of Horror Stories

Curated exclusively for Folio by multi-award-winning British horror writer Ramsey Campbell, this new edition is a collection of superlative writing from the mid-19th century to the present day. The tales are presented chronologically, so the reader embarks upon a hair-raising journey through the evolution of the genre. This begins with ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ – one of Poe’s most terrifying stories – in which a woman is entombed alive and returns to seek vengeance. British writer M. R. James’ ‘Count Magnus’ tells the chilling tale of a travel writer who becomes fascinated by a long-dead occultist, and H. P. Lovecraft writes of a man who takes lodging in the wrong part of town – a place that may not actually exist. Stories by Shirley Jackson, Thomas Ligotti and others lead us finally to Adam Nevill’s ‘Hippocampus’ – a hyper-real and ultimately gruesome story set on a lurching abandoned cruise liner.
