'Tales of Terror' represents an eerie glimpse into centuries long past. Through a two-volume collection of short stories, we gain some insight into what the horror and thriller genres were like in the mid-1800's - at times with lasting effect, even into the modern day. The stories are all unique, and many still hit their mark of being both entertaining and spine-tingling. Others feel a bit anachronistic at times but, on the whole, the works within these pages are sure to please even the most seasoned reader of supernatural fare.
