 Great Horror Stories By Various Authors Chancellor Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0753705699 | PDF | 638 pages | 20.3 mb scanned to PDF by me. Previously published as 'The Great Book of Thrillers' (1936) by Odhams Press Ltd & as 'Great Tales of Terror' (1991) by Chancellor Press. There are hairbreadth escapes and dangerous living; murder in Park Lane and on the Riviera; resuscitations from the grave; detectives and super-detectives - Dr Thorndyke, Malcom Sage and The Old Man in the Corner to name but a few. There is fine imaginative writing ranging from delicate fantasy to stark tragedy and the macabre. Enjoy the imaginative works of Dickens, Poe, Balzac, Marjorie Bowen and Baroness Orczy among others.
