Seven Gothic Tales has established itself as a modern classic. As William Rose Benét wrote in the Saturday Review of Literature when the book was first published, this is "'a book of unique atmosphere and scenes indelibly delineated, a book bringing the psychological insight of a Henry James to the material of a Northern Boccaccio, a book of extraordinary fantasy that yet takes us intimately into a vivid variety of human lives.'

Work Description

Originally published in 1934, Seven Gothic Tales, the first book by "one of the finest and most singular artists of our time" (The Atlantic), is a modern classic. Here are seven exquisite tales combining the keen psychological insight characteristic of the modern short story with the haunting mystery of the nineteenth-century Gothic tale, in the tradition of writers such as Goethe, Hoffmann, and Poe.—Penguin Random House
