GREAT TALES OF TERROR FROM EUROPE AND AMERICA Gothic Stories of Horror & Romance 1765-1840.

First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight with a slight bump to the head of the spine, the contents, with a little faint spotting to the text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the very lightly rubbed and creased, price-clipped original dustwrapper which is a touch faded to the spine.

Following 'Great British Tales of Terror', published earlier in the same year. A collection of gothic tales primarily from Germany, France and America, each with a short contextual introduction by Peter Haining.
