The editor has brought together in this volume fifty of the strangest horror stories of this and other ages. For all who still retain a sense of wonder about the strange, the weird, the hair-raising happenings that can never be satisfactorily explained, this book will prove irresistible.

Some good reads,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 50 Great Horror Stories (Hardcover)
While the copyright of this collection is 1971, which is almost 40 years ago, many of the stories within contain references and subject matter to much earlier times. Many of the stories contain "olde english" and talk of times as early back as 1500 or 1600. Mostly the stories do contain a common element in that they are for the most part actually scary. Having read many horror anthologies that put me right to sleep at night, this one will give you a few scares, a pleasant surprise seeing I got the book on the cheap.
