GALLERY OF HORROR
In this collection of grisly and terrifying stories you will find your darkest fears depicted – a phantom seen in a mirror reflection at midnight which becomes only too real… a weird girl who practices a rather different kind of vampirism… a malignant, inexorable intelligence which lurks in murky oil deposits beneath the earth’s bony crust… These and other black gems of the fantasist’s art await your discovery – if you dare to look within…
“Should send your goose-pimples squawking”
- The Times
“Leiber’s imagined fragments of dark have a tactile quality about them such as only the best writers in the genre achieve”
- Times Literary Supplement

loved your blog, very usefull to me.
i´m gonna link it in my own.
in retribuition, i love tales of the fantastic,
and also not only fiction, but documents and books
on fairies, and folk magic. but being a brazilian,
it´s really tuff to find things about it, even through
research.
could you help me indicating books, and/or authors
wich i should look for in that direction.
(an exemple of what i mean would be the story
“the white people” by arthur machen
cheers!
