A treasure trove examining early speculative fiction, Scarborough's covers the period from Horace Walpole's *Castle of Otranto* and other Gothic romances straight through to the author's own present times in the early 20th Century. Horror and fantasy were a major part of the world's literary output from the very beginnings of popular literature. From Walpole, Maturin, and Shelley right through to Doyle, Machen, and Blackwood, Scarborough reveals the best works in an accessible and well-organized fashion.
