520    Brimming with tales of terror, suspense, and the uncanny, 
       this work offers the first collection devoted to the 
       Gothic genre. Each story contains the common elements of 
       the gothic tale--a warped sense of time, a claustrophobic 
       setting, a link to archaic modes of thought, and the 
       impression of a descent into disintegration. Yet taken 
       together, they reveal the progression of the genre from 
       stories of feudal villains amid crumbling ruins to a 
       greater level of sophistication in which writers brought 
       the gothic tale out of its medieval setting, and placed it
       in the contemporary world. Bringing together the work of 
       such writers as Eudora Welty, Thomas Hardy, Edgar Allan 
       Poe, William Faulkner, Arthur Conan Doyle, Joyce Carol 
       Oates, and Jorge Luis Borges, The Oxford Book of Gothic 
       Tales presents a wide array of the sinister and unsettling
       for all lovers of ghost stories, fantasy, and horror.
