What is there not to love about this collection? It's a collection of some of the greatest Gothic writers of all time. Irving, Hawthorne, Poe, Körner, von Shiller, Goethe, and more. Some of these stories are easily recognized. Others are less famous and give a new depth to the Gothic short story. Some are names that the average reader might not associate with Gothic, yet every story here weaves a haunting, disturbing portrait of human frailty. Haining has chosen well and this one of the best introductions to Gothic literature we've come across in a long time.
If You Like: Essentially any Gothic author from the 1800s (it's that good)
