20 Great Ghost Stories, Rare and Haunting (Avon, 1941)

"Here are twenty stories dealing with creatures of the night--vampires, the walking dead--PROFANE BEINGS..

WARNING--Not for reading after midnight!"

20 Great Ghost Stories, Rare and Haunting (Avon Publications, 1941) is a collection of spooky stories culled from the public domain. Excellent cover illustrations by Frank J. Russell (there are interior black and white illustrations as well). In researching the authors of the stories (strangely, none of which are credited in the book) I stumbled upon an excellent resource, Horror Masters, which hosts a robust library of public-domain supernatural short fiction, including every one of the stories from this collection.
