You know perfectly well you are, and you may as well admit it \" - Boris Karloff, from the Introduction. In 1943 - a good year for terrors both foreign and domestic - beloved acting great Boris Karloff released the stellar hardcover anthology, TALES OF TERROR. Selected and presented by the Master himself, this collection of vintage ghost stories and strange tales featured renowned writers of the weird such as Bram Stoker and Algernon Blackwood, and included the now-acknowledged classics, \"Beast With Five Fingers,\" \"The Damned Thing,\" and many others. Karloff's lengthy introductory essay, written with the elegance, wit and grace that were hallmarks of the man, expounds on his theory of \"horror\" and \"terror,\" and provides revealing insights into the psychology and philosophy that he personally brought to the genre, both as anthologist and actor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boris Karloff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419658476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419658471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.60d","brand":"Boris Karloff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43934766203135,"sku":"9781419658471","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a4458192-7628-4a8d-be4c-106f98e968fb.jpg?v=1681415922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-of-terror-boris-karloff-9781419658471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
