Gordon Laite's Art to Tremble By

"More Tales to Tremble By" from 1968 was Whitman Publishing's second collection of great haunting and suspenseful horror stories (see also "Tales to Tremble By" 1966.) And though the first collection contains a well chosen assortment of classic terrors by the luminary likes of Bierce, Dickens, Irving, Stoker etc., it's actually the second collection that really screams out from beyond the grave with demonic delights by some of my own personal favorites-- Saki, Asquith, Hodgson, Derleth, and the supreme master of all horror, M. R. James! Great writing aside, this collection also rises well above the first with the much more evocative, beautifully eerie, horrifyingly hypnotic illustrations of Gordon Laite. Here now is a small sampling of highlights from this fantastically frightening book, (edited by Stephen P. Sutton.)
