The Mysterious Stories series is a collection of short fiction written in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The stories introduce readers to a world where the mundane coexists with the supernatural, where the fates of the heroes are determined by terrifying otherworldly forces, and where the very border between life and death is shaky, have long been popular. Shrouded in dark colors, dramatic stories about family curses, the mysteries of old portraits, deals with the devil, restless souls, ghosts, etc. became especially popular in the era of Romanticism. But even later, readers' interest in them did not dry up: even in the era of philosophical skepticism, the rise of science and the triumph of technology, Gothic literature remains in demand, and the mysterious, the inexplicable, the miraculous still attracts and fascinates. The collection includes mystical stories by British and American writers, including such masters of prose as Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Henry James, Vernon Lee, Montague Rhodes James, and Edward Frederick Benson.
