The Dark Descent
by David G. Hartwell (editor), Stephen King
Description
A sweeping anthology of supernatural and psychological horror, this collection gathers landmark tales of haunted houses, uncanny forces, forbidden knowledge, and evil lurking just beyond the familiar. Spanning classic ghost stories and gothic fiction alongside influential modern works, it brings together writers such as Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Edgar Allan Poe, and many more. Arranged in three evocative sections, the book explores the color of evil, the monstrous and mysterious, and the vast darkness that resists explanation. Rich in atmosphere and stylistic variety, it offers a compelling survey of horror’s power to unsettle, disturb, and endure.
