Tales of Terror

Boris Karloff (editor)

A vintage horror anthology edited and introduced by the legendary Boris Karloff, featuring terrifying stories from acclaimed authors including William Faulkner, Bram Stoker, Hugh Walpole, Algernon Blackwood, Joseph Conrad, and R.H. Benson. The dust jacket shows significant wear with tears and creasing at the corners and spine, while the cover art features a striking teal-toned image of a ghostly face and grasping hand. The presence of Karloff's photo and the mid-century design elements suggest a first or early edition from the 1940s, making it a collectible item for horror enthusiasts.
