Thirteen strange tales by well regarded American authors of the early twentieth century
The foundation of this anthology of supernatural and strange stories was a concept by American author Henry Mills Alden, who was for fifty years (1869-1919) editor of, 'Harper's Magazine'. His idea was to create anthologies by outstanding American authors of the day and eight volumes, on a variety of themes, known as the Harper's Novelettes, were published in collaboration with highly regarded author William Dean Howells, editor of the 'Atlantic Monthly'.
In its original form this anthology was first published in 1907, under the title 'Shapes that Haunt the Dusk', it included ten stories. This expanded, thirteen story Leonaur edition includes a work by William Dean Howells himself, 'His Apparition' and two extra works from one of the original contributors, Madeline Yale Wynne, 'My Ghost of a Chance' and the sequel to 'The Little Room' which was in the anthology when first published. Other authors of finely crafted stories in these pages include Hildegard Hawthorne, E.D Miller, Howard Pyle, Richard Rice and several others.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
