Book Description:
With this posthumously published anthology--a successor to his bestselling Italian Folktales--Italo Calvino, a contemporary surveyor of the otherwordly, pays homage to twenty-six of his nineteenth-century precursors. The resulting volume is both an education in the history of fantastic literature and a rollercoaster ride of wonder and terror, vampires, ghosts, and the rebellious creatures of our own psyches.

Selections include:

E.T.A. Hoffmann--'The Sandman'
Gérard de Nerval--'the Enchanted Hand'
Nikolai Gogol--'The Nose'
Edgar Allan Poe--'The Tell-Tale Heart'
Hans Christian Andersen--'The Shadow'
Ambrose Bierce--'Chickamauga'
Robert Louis Stevenson--'The Bottle Imp'
Henry James--'The Friends of the Friends'
H.G. Wells--'The Country of the Blind'

Comprising stories of the supernatural and narratives of the everyday uncanny, Fantastic Tales is a gallery of enchantments, deliciously entertaining yet more disturbing than our most persistent nightmares.
