Reprint (Arkham House 1989) horror anthology of 22 stories, with introduction by James Turner, significantly revised from the 1969 Arkham House edition edited by August Derleth. |
Translated from the French Fantasmagoria (Paris, 1812) by Mrs Sarah Utterson with the addition of her fragment. The French volume was translated from German sources by J.B.B. Eyriès. The original German source were the first two volumes of an eventual five-volume set, Gespensterbuch (Leipzig, 1811), edited by Friedrich Schulze and Johann Apel. It was this volume that was read by Byron and Shelley whilst on holiday in Switzerland and prompted the ghost-story competition that gave rise to Frankenstein. This volume has recently been reprinted by The Gothic Society, 1992 (ISBN 1-874100-03-9) with a new introduction by Terry Hale. |
