Weird Tales, Vol. II

E. T. A. Hoffmann was an enormous talent writing long before the market for weird fiction came into focus. One of the first great horror magazines -- Weird Tales -- stole the title of this two-volume collection without so much as a note of thanks! Anyway, if you like weird fiction (probably a better word for the genre than horror than horror), you'll love Hoffmann's Weird Tales.

Included in this second volume of the two-volume collection are "The Doge and Dogess," "Master Martin the Cooper," "Mademoiselle de Scudéri," "Gambler's Luck," "Master Johannes Wacht," and a long bibliographic essay from the translator, "Biographical Notes."
