author: a collection of authors
This book is about stories of horror written by many authors such as Edger Allen Poe, Charles Dickens, and William Hope Hodgson. You will find stories of death, disease, and evil. My favorite story is Sir Dominick’s Bargain, written by Sheridan Le Fanu. This short story is about Sir Dominick, who becomes in debt and owes a large sum of money. A good friend of Sir Dominick tells him a legend. If you go in the forest at night the devil offers you money, but makes you sign a paper that has ancient writing on it. Nevertheless, Sir Dominick was very desperate and in need of money, so he went into the forest to make a deal with the devil. To find out what happens next read the rest of this scary and disturbing book.
Thank you,
