Early American Gothic Stories and Poems: Volume 1 (By Candlelight) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Early American Gothic Stories and Poems is the first of the ‘By Candlelight’ series of “bedtime stories for grown-ups” meant to be read in the spirit of reviving that long-beloved childhood tradition of storytime.

All the stories and poems in this volume were written between 1820 and 1936 and represent what editor Nina Alvarez considers a toothsome cross-section of early American literature in the Gothic tradition.

"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving
