Overview

Masters of horror This carefully researched anthology brings together some of the recognized masterpieces in the literature of horror and suspense from around the world. At the same time especial attention has been given to some rarities (like a macabre tale from Giacomo Casanova or a ghost story by Heinrich Heine, among others) and lesser known pieces that deserve a wider readership, including some especially translated for this edition. Martin Monreal is a writer and translator. He studied Foreign Literature at the University of Buenos Aires, and attended Pratt Institute in New York. He has published poetry and short stories, and is the editor of many anthologies.
