    He has been described as a writer on whom the mantle of Poe has fallen and no less an authority than H.P. Lovecraft wrote: few can equal him in conveying feelings of the spectral and the abnormal. This volume, the first in the Masters of Terror Series represents the very best of Hodgson's tales of sea horror:the Voice in the NightA Tropical HorrorThe Mystery of the DerelictThe Terror of the Water-TankThe Finding of the GraikenThe Stone ShipThe DerelictMasters of Terror is a series of collections of short stories by those authors who have made their name in the genre of the macabre and supernatural. Each volume is edited by an authority on the author in question and includes an introduction giving details of the author's life and works.

    It would have been disastrous if a magnificent vampire story like Carmilla, or tales dealing with ghouls (Pickman's model), a werewolf (Gabriel-Ernest) and Black Magic (Casting the runes), had been excluded for the sake of adhering to a category which is at best imprecise. Any supernatural element in a story made it eligible for inclusion - those finally selected are the best.Contents:- Introduction (1977) by Charles Fowkes- The House and the Brain (1859) by Edward Bulwer-Lytton- The Masque of the Red Death (1842) by Edgar Allan Poe- The Facts in the Case of M.

    Although their literary techniques reflect trends in more serious literature, the jestbooks have been little studied by practicing scholars and are generally unknown to the modern reader - in part because they are scattered all over the English-speaking world in the major research libraries. In the present volume spelling, punctuation, and typography have been modernized, and the editor have provided brief introductory botes and glosses of archaic terms.

    This excellent collection includes works by Truman Capote, James Agee, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Anne Tyler, Reynolds Price, and many others.

    This book, which can be read independently, deals with more specifically linguistic problems in semantics and contains substantial original material.
