Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere.

Haunted Castles

Haunted CastlesÂ is the definitve, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of Â "Sardonicus," "Sanguinarius," andÂ "Sagittarius." The characters that sprawl throughÂ Haunted CastlesÂ 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. Engrossing, grotesque, perverted, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful.
