内容简介

This anthology contains the works of writers from the sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries who evoke the night to set a scene, twist a plot, or explain something inexplicable, like madness or time travel. Here is Halloween as it was imagined: a joyous time for games and storytelling, a portentous time to make amends and wishes, a solemn time to remember the dead. Included are the works of Robert Burns, H P Lovecraft, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, and many more.
