Bram Stoker - The Judge's House (1891)
Edith Wharton - Afterward (1910)

This is some curious packaging. Half of this is pre-war and even pre-1900, and to put writers like Dickens, Oates and Jackson under "17 others", well ...

Solid enough collection with lots of big names—although I agree, the cover seems to promise modern horror and not the same ghost stories we’ve all read before. It would be a good book for a newcomer though.
