Engrossing, grotesque, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful.
Horror legend Ray Russell's haunting and macabre stories, including "perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written" (Stephen King), with a foreword by acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro Haunted Castles is the definitive, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of "Sardonicus," "Sanguinarius," and "Sagittarius." The characters that sprawl through Haunted Castles are frightful to the core: the heartless monster holding two lovers in limbo the beautiful dame journeying down a damned road toward depravity (with the help of an evil gypsy) the man who must wear his fatal crimes on his face in the form of an awful smile.
