BEST READ AFTER DARK: NINE SPOOKY NYRB CLASSICS FOR 50% OFF

"What would your feelings be, seriously, if your cat or your dog began to talk to you, and to dispute with you in human accents? You would be overwhelmed with horror. I am sure of it. And if the roses in your garden sang a weird song, you would go mad. And suppose the stones in the road began to swell and grow before your eyes, and if the pebble that you noticed at night had shot out stony blossoms in the morning?" —Arthur Machen, "The White People," Shadows of Carcosa

For this weekend only, these nine scary classics are available at 50% off. These novels and short stories are full of spirits, shadows, evil twins, dark curses, supernatural happenings, murder, moon cults, and, of course, horror. Read each of these books, as Stephen King writes in his intro to Rim of Morning, "on an autumn night with a strong wind blowing the leaves outside."
