The anthology includes stories and short stories by Western European, American and Australian writers of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries in classical translations. These works, for all their diversity, are united by the theme of the supernatural, which invades the measured course of everyday life. The authors involve their heroes and readers in a terrible gothic world full of metaphysical and psychological mysteries that defy the usual, rational explanations. An incomprehensible game of chance, traps of time and space, fatal encounters with their own second self, with blood-lust-possessed vampires, with suddenly resurrected grave dwellers and, of course, with the disembodied spirits of the dead become a serious test for characters living in the era of steam engines and iron roads. The masters of the literary mainstream (W. Irving, C. Dickens, G. James, J. Conrad), recognized masters of gothic short stories (J. S. Le Fanu, M. R. James, A. Beers, E. F. Benson) and now undeservedly forgotten prose writers such as I. A. Apel, M. H. Fortune, W. J. Wintle, D. Donovan and others.
