Author Description

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback collections of the best in classic horror short stories. "Horror Gems, Vol. Eight" features a fine collection of tales by some of the genre’s best authors, such as David Wright O’Brien, August Derleth, Algernon Blackwood and many others. While you’re happily reading “The House in the Valley” (Derleth) or “A Guest of Ganymede,” (C. C. MacApp) try to remember that it couldn’t happen to you…iot just couldn’t...or could it? What kind of monstrosities are lurking just outside our doors? “Emissary” (Charles E. Fritch) and “Hand of Death” (Marjorie Murch Stanley) might give a clue. Let’s hope you don’t find out…the hard way! It’s been said, “If something exists, somebody somewhere collects it.” With “Something in the Wind” (Gregory Luce) or perhaps “Father’s Vampire” (Len J. Moffatt) you may think twice about your own obscure collections… We’ve got the hauntings, the fear of the unknown, the dark recesses of human nature, and other shadowy evils that will give you goose-bumps in this eighth new addition of Armchair Fiction’s Horror Gems!
