I totally agree about the shorter fiction of Bram Stoker. I came across a collection of his short stories last year and gave it a shot not expecting too much, but it was really good and fresh. 👍
Dracula's Guest is one of my favorite horror short stories I first read it in a Scholastic paperback called Dracula's Guest and Other Stories edited by Victor Ghidalia that I ordered through Weekly Reader in the 5th grade in 1970 and I still have it 😊
One great collection I lucked into when I was a kid called: The Dracula Book of Great Vampire Stories edited by Leslie Shepard. It might be hard to find now, but not very expensive, from 1977, despite the horrible name, it is a great collection of almost all of the classic vampire stories including F.G. Loring's "The Tomb of Sarah" which is an obscure vampire story first published in a Pall Mall magazine in 1900. The only thing He ever wrote that I could find. It has many of the authors you just mentioned like Stoker, Le Fanu and Blackwood, it was my first introduction to them as a kid. Still have it to this day. Great vid, I will be on a lookout for William Slone. 😀
I'd recommend the Bernie Wrightson illustrated edition of Frankenstein. It's probably the 1830s text but it has great illustrations since as any comic fan knows Bernie Wrightson could really draw. It would probably appeal to non-comic fans too since Wrightson was in many ways in the old classic illustrators vein.
I got the Penguin edition of Arthur Machen despite your advice because I liked the cover, and then read Great God Pan separately. I knew what I was getting into.
Yep, I'm about to get started on Poe. My ERB library program I mentioned back in July was a lot of fun for the adventure summer reading theme, though I predictably only had a few people show up. However, I did send them in the direction of your channel and showed a clip or two of you and Roger, which was cool. Saturday October 5th I'm doing a Poe program to commemorate the 175th anniversary of his death on the seventh. My library display is quite nifty, complete with ravens and all. 👍
A great list! Thanks, especially for being specific about translations/publications. I just read a collection of classic folk horror short stories called "Tales Accursed: A Folk Horror Anthology") and it had some Algernon Blackwood and M. R. James in it. I have read short stories by them and pretty much all of the authors you mentioned, so it is nice to have recommendations for good omnibuses/collections to seek out, since there are sometimes numerous such things available, of varying quality, especially for authors whose work is in the public domain.
I was trying to remeber The Rim Of Morning by Sloane this past Saturday. My buddy and I had just gone on a used book store road trip and he had picked up a collection of H.P. Lovecraft. We got talking about cosmic horror and I had read The Rim Of Morning a couple years ago but couldn't remember the title or author. I was trying to recommend the book to him but couldn't until this very timely video! Cosmic coincidence?
Thank you, Michael! Your recommendations are always on point and I’ll definitely be reading some Poe this Fall. I also have a Spine Chillers anthology that features a lot of these authors that I’ll dip into. Very tempting to seek out all your recommended volumes!
Funny thing, one or two months ago I would have known next to nothing about these authors. Been getting a lot into Lovecraft and fell into the rabbit hole, discovering all of these writers. I would also add William Hope Hodgson and WW Jacobs. I just got several Flame Tree Publishing anthologies, pretty to look at, not the best layout, but a LOT of stories. I also got collections by Blackwood, Machen and WHH and there is one by Sheridan Le Fanu coming out at the beginning of next year. I’m also waiting for a Dracula edition to arrive (I’ve never read it!). Everyone keeps talking wonders about The Monk. I need to pick that up!
Fantastic video! Will be getting all of these and make them a reading project. I have a friend who is an editor at Oxford, so I will be sharing this video with him. Have you done something similar for classic science fiction?
I have two favorite editions of Dracula. Leslie Klinger’s Annotated Dracula is a delight, full of useful info and fun side trips, and is beautiful. And Audible’s full-cast version with Alan Cummings and Tim Curry, is simply superb.
Awesome video Michael! Unfortunately, as a citizen of South Africa, I am severely limited both in terms of price and availability. Still you showcase some awesome editions. I discovered Algernon Blackwood last year, wonderful. Oh wow, I have that Dracula edition, bit faded but awesome! I did not like The Lair Of The White Worm, terrible novel on so many levels. The Monk is on my tbr, I am seriously intrigued. Thanks for the final 2 recs, I will keep them in mind.
Oh, wow, I had forgotten there were two versions of Frankenstein. I read the 1818 on the Kindle. LOVED it! Then I wanted a print edition but... I think the one I got was the 1831.
It's not surprising that the 1818 text feels like it was written by a completely different person, since a big chunk of it was written by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The later text used to be favoured because it's a more pure expression of Mary's voice, and her preferred text, but the kids today do love the 1818. . . Of course I'm sure Mary might have had a little bit of aversion or PTSD when she sat down to rewrite and edit later, as losing him was such a tragedy for her to endure. Not that you didn't know that, it must be said. . .
@@waltera13 Percy contributed between 4,000 and 5,000 words to the 72,000 word novel. The later text is certainly an expression of her voice as an older person.
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Wow, thank you for the clarification - you rock! I had thought it was more like a third, but I have not yet combed through the edition that marks which bits are Shelly's and which are her's. Where as you have already done the research, and have word counts! Amazing. I am SO behind.
For M.R. James, I would recommend 'A Pleasing Terror' from Ash Tree Press. While the hard copy edition is now scarce and prohibitively expensive, the Kindle is of great value. And for his aficionados, it's the definitive source for his collected works.
Great hat. Where can I get one? Sloane is great. I also liked To Walk the Night better. Very creepy. Great review overall. I have two volumes of Opera. Now I am hesitant to read either one as they do not name the translator. I read The Count of Monte Cristo twice. The first time was great. The second was awful. Same goes for Jean Ray. Ghouls in My Grave was great. More recent translations of his stories have been Dullsville.
Great overview. I have an edition of Carmilla bound in goatskin. I've probably shown it in a video before, but it's a prized possession for multiple reasons. Thomas Ligotti belongs on this list even though he's contemporary. He's definitely a man who should have been born earlier than he was.
@michaelk.vaughan8617 True, his career started in 1981, but he is one of the rare contemporary authors to have a Penguin Classics edition. He's so great, though, even if we need to wait some more before calling him "classic".
Walpole influential? He only created the gothic genre, though modern scholars try to dispute that but no alternatives are given. I have a collection of Wordsworth Editions’ Tales of Mystery and the Supernatural series which has several of the authors mentioned in this video, including Le Fanu, Lovecraft and even an edition of The Monk. Any thoughts on those? Also, I have the Penguin edition of Machen and I could have sworn Great God Pan was in it, but you are correct on that. Thought it might be in a different anthology in my library but no dice there, either. I do have some vintage paperback copies of some of C.A.S’ books as well as August Derleth and Hodgson’s Night Lands and a copy of Stoker’s Lair of the White Worm retitled as a gothic romance called The Garden of Evil. I will be looking for Sloane’s book and I am still looking for a copy of Blackwood’s Best Ghost Stories.
Have to recommend Gogol because of his horror stories based on Russian folk tales. This is not known as it deserves. There is also Gustav Mayrink, his Golem, and Angel from the West Window. I'm not sure if I wrote this correctly, but that is important stuff.
I am going to come back and watch this video again there are so many interesting sounding authors and I want to make sure I get the right H P Lovecraft books. I habe enjoyed a few of his stories but I don't own any of his collections.
The Oxford Lovecraft is... kind of perplexing? It does have most (though certainly not all) of the really good later stuff, but kicks off with Horror at Red Hook, which is, frankly, shit. And it misses all the good earlier stuff. And not using the Joshi texts is inexcusable now. Speaking of Joshi, he did that Penguin Machen with its baffling lack of The Great God Pan, and I'm damned if I know what he was thinking. I know it's available in a lot of collections, but if you're doing a purported "all in one place" best-of, leaving that out is still idiotic. The 1818 Frankenstein is indeed available from Oxford, indeed I think I've actually got it myself somewhere. Also, Lair of the White Worm having "issues" is putting it mildly. When I read it, I thought it felt like an unfinished draft that had been published posthumously, but I knew it had actually been published the year *before* his death. As for Otranto, I've got it in an old Penguin collection (Three Gothic Novels) that also contains Vathek and the 1831 Frankenstein, though Penguin do have it on its own. William Sloane? HELL YES. Apart from one or two short stories that I'm surprised weren't also added to that collection, those two novels were the sum total of his fictional output. I think I actually preferred the second book, though.
I think there must be some story behind why Stoker’s White Worm is so odd. It reads like he fell asleep while writing it and it was finished by stoned children. It’s really weird.
My favorite horror and ghost story authors are in order Edgar A Poe M R James H P Lovecraft Algernon Blackwood Bram Stoket That's not to say my favorite stories follow that list. My favorite horror book is Frankenstein for instance. And as for short story anthologies Penguin has two companion volumes of great horror stories and great ghost stories that are excellent
