Lurid Tales – Classic Oddities, is an anthology of six disturbing tales by such myth-and monster-makers as Franz Kafka, Oscar Wilde, H.P. Lovecraft and H.G. Wells, whose extravagantly imaginative stories have influenced most of today's writers and filmmakers, including Stephen King, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman and Ramsey Campbell, selected and edited by Philip Dossick.
