<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Two terrifying books bound together in one striking <em>tête-bêche</em> volume: a brand new anthology of morbid, macabre and mysterious masterworks, <em>Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror</em>, is paired with Henry James's definitive Gothic classic <em>The Turn of the Screw</em>.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>A stranger in a rowboat approaches a schooner in the blackness of night to beg for food. The residents of a secluded town whisper stories about a headless horseman. A poor Hawaiian is convinced to purchase a bottle that contains a being powerful enough to grant any wish. These unsettling stories and more are compiled together for the first time in <em>Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror</em>, edited and with an introduction by C.S.R. Calloway.</p><p><br></p><p>A governess, her two child charges, and a house haunted by memories and-perhaps-something much more malevolent. The story has been retold countless times, but never as effectively as in its original form. <em>The Turn of the Screw</em> remains frightening over a century after its initial publication, expertly crafted to create fear in what is explicitly on the page and what is left untold.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>DOUBLE BOOKED(TM) <em>Shadows Against the Dark: Collected Tales of Horror / The Turn of the Screw</em></strong> combines renowned authors Algernon Blackwood, William Hope Hodgson, Washington Irving, W. W. Jacobs, Henry James, Edgar Allan Poe, and Robert Louis Stevenson together in one stylish "reversible" paperback.</p>
