Halloween Horror Stories
It’s Halloween season once again and dark devilish costumes, implements and decorations add to the eerie atmosphere. Google celebrates this season with its Scary Stories.
Google’s Book search, as part of the grandiose scheme of indexing millions of books with the help of the leading American and British libraries, shows snippets of the pages with due links to where to source the books.
A look at the page shows some links to the Master of Gothic Horror Tales – Edgar Allan Poe and many other authors of this genre. The immensely dark poem about the Raven – a chilling portender of Evil and spooky short stories like The Fall of the House of Usher and The Premature Burial can easily send shivers down your spine.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) donned many roles though he earned acclaim for his role as a poet, author of short stories (mostly about Gothic tales – tales of thunder and gore),literary critic and one of the leaders of American Romantic Movement. He strongly believed in short prose often describing macabre tales instead of voluminous works of fiction.
Many of the works of classic authors are available for download from many sources which Google identifies a few. What is shown in Google’s Book search points to links where you can buy from multiple sources.
