Tales of the Dead

These six tales are culled from "Fantasmagoriana," the classic book of German ghost stories, said to have been what Mary Shelley, Byron, and her other companions were reading when Mary conceived and gave birth to the hideous "Frankenstein" during that haunted summer, so long ago. These six tales of terror and woe gave birth to ghastly horrors that night in Switzerland, for FEAR, just as much as love, is a universal language.
