The Classic Horror Omnibus

Howdy y'all!After being disappointed time and time again by the slapped together selections of horror anthologies I've seen on here, I decided to step up and make one containing what I consider to be the true "best of the best". No filler. This collection contains the following:John William Polidori – The Vampyre (1816)E.T.A. Hoffmann – The Deserted House (1817)Washington Irving – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820)Nathaniel Hawthorne – The Minister’s Black Veil (1836)Charles Dickens – The Signal Man (1866)Robert Louis Stevenson – The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886)Bram Stoker – The Judge’s House (1891)Charlotte Perkins Gilman – The Yellow Wallpaper (1892)Arthur Machen – The Great God Pan (1894)H.G. Wells – The Red Room (1896)Henry James - The Turn of the Screw (1898)W.W. Jacobs - The Monkey’s Paw (1902)Algernon Blackwood – The Willows (1907)& four stories from Robert W. Chambers "The King In Yellow" (1895)I include a (very) brief introduction and some final words at the tail end of the book, but besides that, you're getting exactly what's listed above, formatted nice for good reading. I excluded Lovecraft and Poe as their entire works should be read, and also because I feel like every collection on the market lazily throws in the typical stories, so I wanted this one to stand out. I set out to make a book I would actually buy myself.If you have suggestions for stories I could include in a second volume, please feel free to let me know. I will definitely make that if this sells decent enough.-NOTE: Hardback Edition of this book does not contain Frankenstein due to page count limits-
