S. LeFanu, Ambrose Bierce, and M. R. James.
The ten classics included in this volume are: The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs, E. G. Swain's Bone to His Bone, The Rose Garden by M. R. James, Dickens's To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt, LeFanu's Dickon the Devil, Stoker's The Judge's Salt, The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce, Amelia B. Edwards's The Phantom Coach, A Ghost Story by Jerome K. Jerome, and E. F. Benson's The Confession of Charles Linkworth.
