The modern horror story grew and developed across the nineteenth century, embracing categories as diverse as ghost stories, the supernatural and psychological horror, medical and scientific horror, colonial horror, and tales of the uncanny and precognition. This anthology brings together twenty-nine of the greatest horror stories of the period, from 1816 to 1912, from the British, Irish, American, and European traditions. It ranges widely across the sub-genres to encompass authors whose terror-inducing powers remain unsurpassed. The book includes stories by some of the best writers of the century -- Hoffmann, Poe, Balzac, Dickens, Hawthorne, Melville, and Zola -- as well as established genre classics from M. R. James, Arthur Machen, Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others. It includes rare and little-known pieces by writers such as William Maginn, Francis Marion Crawford, W. F. Harvey, and William Hope Hodgson, and shows the important role played by periodicals in popularizing the horror story. Wherever possible, stories are reprinted in their first published form, with background information about their authors and helpful, contextualizing annotation. Darryl Jones's lively introduction discusses horror's literary evolution and its articulation of cultural preoccupations and anxieties. These are stories guaranteed to freeze the blood, revolt the senses, and keep you awake at night: prepare to be terrifiedBinding Type: Paperback

Broke after 2 months.
Color: Bright White
This is 2 months old, it worked fantastic for 2 months It cleaned everything knew where it was going found its way home every time. Now it won't move it's turned on The brushes are spinning there's no way to turn it off and the button isn't working to power it down I have to let it sit and run for hours on its back so that it will die because there is no way to open it that I can find and there's no power off switch other than the one on the top which is not responding to me touching it.

Great for hard surfaces.
Color: Bright White, Color: Bright White
I love this vacuum for my hard floors. But make sure you check the clearance on all of your furniture as it gets stuck under my stuff easily. I am not a fan of the “mop” feature. It just drags around a wet swiffer pad. So obviously it doesn’t mop much. But for hard floors, this was a great purchase for the price! The quality of the vacuum is great! Even the packaging is nice. But I will say you need to look for the bigger filters as the K5 filters do not fit. Also, the app on your phone needs to be on the same WiFi as the vacuum or it disconnects and you need to reconnect it. I need to empty the collection bin every day, but I also have 4 dogs. I would definitely recommend this to someone with hard floors.

Best Purchase for my room
Color: White
I was skeptical at first but I’ve been using it for about 2-3 months, and it runs every day at 6am and it has never failed me. It always has a full filter at the end for the week, and the app is very good. When it would get stuck in places, it would always find a way out and I’ve never had to manually fix it. What’s even better is that there are 100-300 dollar roombas out there and yet this one has outperformed the expensive ones. They even are going to send me 4 free filters and 4 free brushes just for using it daily.

Doesn't last
Color: White
This product was working well. I used it daily but all of a sudden after 8 months it just stopped charging. I wish it actually lasted because it was a great product. But since it now no longer charges its of no use and a waste of money smh
