This anthology of works by British, North American, and Australian writers from the 19th and 20th centuries includes stories and short stories about dark supernatural forces invisibly present in the world around us, and the dangerous encounters mere mortals have with them. Adventurers and warlocks, thirsting for forbidden knowledge, power, and wealth, enter into alliances with the devil; ancient treasures stubbornly guarding their secrecy; equally ancient exotic cults that promise disaster to their new adherents; gray-haired witches muttering ominous spells in secluded places in the dead of night; and cunning fairies setting treacherous, and sometimes fatal, traps for humanity—such is the repertoire of stories in this volume.

The book's authors include world-renowned writers (Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells), recognized masters of the Gothic novel (Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Montague Rhodes James, William Fryer Harvey, Algernon Blackwood, Edward Frederick Benson), and undeservedly forgotten writers such as Herminie Templeton Kavanagh, Cleveland Langston Moffett, Christopher Blair, and Roger Pater. Some stories are presented in new translations or are translated into Russian for the first time.
