Seven Gothic Tales, with Decoupages by Queen Margrethe II

Originally published in 1934, *Seven Gothic Tales,* the first book by "one of the finest and most singular artists of our time" *(The Atlantic),* is a modern classic. Here are seven exquisite tales combining the keen psychological insight characteristic of the modern short story with the haunting mystery of the nineteenth-century Gothic tale, in the tradition of writers such as Goethe, Hoffmann, and Poe.—Penguin Random House
