E. T. A. Hoffmann

Weird Tales, Vol. II E. T. A. Hoffmann

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."
