Colonial Horrors: Sleepy Hollow And Beyond
by Graeme DavisThe most spine-tingling suspense stories from the colonial era—including Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and H. P. Lovecraft—are presented anew to the contemporary reader. This stunning anthology of classic colonial suspense fiction plunges deep into the native soil from which American horror literature first sprang. While European writers of the Gothic and bizarre evoked ruined castles and crumbling abbeys, their American counterparts looked back to the Colonial era’s stifling religion and its dark and threatening woods. Today the best-known tale of Colonial horror is Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” although Irving’s story is probably best-known today from various movie versions it has inspired. Colonial horror tales of other prominent American authors—Nathaniel Hawthorne and James Fenimore Cooper among them—are overshadowed by their bestsellers and are difficult to find in modern libraries. Many other pioneers of American horror fiction are presented afresh in this breathtaking volume for today’s reading public. Some will have heard the names of Increase and Cotton Mather in association with the Salem witch trials, but will not have sought out their contemporary accounts of what were viewed as supernatural events. By bringing these writers to the attention of the contemporary reader, the book will help bring their names—and their work—back from the dead. Featuring stories by Cotton Mather, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, H. P. Lovecraft, and many more.

Come Payasos
by Historias Del ÁticoAlgunas personas les tienen miedo a los payasos. Es una fobia real. Una vez leí que se trata de sus sonrisas, las sonrisas pintadas son un poco demasiado amplias y lo que sea que hay en nuestras cabezas que reconoce rostros, se pone nervioso. No está programado para ver una sonrisa, o una boca tan ancha, sin pensar instantáneamente en los dientes, sin ver la amenaza de una boca tan ancha como algo con el potencial de morder o incluso de consumir. Por supuesto, eso es ridículo. La mayor parte del tiempo. No les tengo miedo a los payasos. He trabajado con suficientes de ellos, al menos metafóricamente, para haber desarrollado una inmunidad. El único payaso literal con el que trabajé tampoco era aterrador, pero lo que lo asustaba, lo que a los payasos les asustaba, bueno, eso me asusta también. Es la razón por la que ya no hago lo que hacía y por la que se me ponen los pelos de punta al oír el tintineo de las campanas. Por supuesto, siempre ha habido extraños. En mi línea de trabajo puedes conocer a algunos verdaderamente...
