A stunning hardback treasury, containing a collection of gothic tales from around the world, introduced by award-winning author Frances Hardinge.

This spine-chilling collection contains treasures from the Macmillan archives, alongside gothic tales from around the world. Discover Christina Rossetti's The Goblin Market and Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow, as well as stories, extracts and poems from internationally renowned literary giants such as Edgar Allen-Poe, Bram Stoker and Gaston Leroux.

By bringing together incredible stories from across the world, this collection tells the story of how gothic literature emerged in the late 1700s and became embedded in popular culture. Begin with a haunting extract from The Castle of Otranto - widely agreed to be the first ever gothic novel - and then lose yourself in tales, poems and extracts that take you to haunted houses, introduce you to supernatural beings, and shock you with curses and revenge. Fully illustrated throughout, with beautiful colour and line-work images from iconic illustrators, including Laurence Housman, Arthur Hughes and H R Millar.

Macmillan has been publishing books for over 175 years. Drawing on Macmillan’s rich historical archive, The Macmillan Collection of Gothic Tales contains stories and artwork from treasuries first published in the 1800s and early 1900s, plus an informative section about some of the authors and artists behind those original collections.

Author Information

Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels including, Fly By Night's sequel, Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.

Macmillan has been publishing books for over 150 years, and is the original publisher of much-loved children's classics Alice in Wonderland and The Jungle Book. Inspired by Macmillan's rich literary heritage, The Macmillan Collection of Gothic Tales contains stories and illustrations first published in collections in the 18th and early 19th centuries. With stories from authors including Christina Rossetti, Washington Irving, and Charles Dickens; and illustrations from iconic artists such as Arthur Hughes, Laurence Housman and more.
