About this series
This triumphant final volume of Spinechillers begins with Doug Bradley's personal guide to the writers and the history of the stories.
M.R. James' classic Number 13 starts off this volume with a mystery about a disappearing and reappearing hotel room, can you guess the room number?
Story two is the tale of a cat that can not only talk, but spills secrets that should have been truly left behind.
Next, we present one of the most famous stories by H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu. Doug transports you into Lovecraft's world of indescribable horror, accompanied by Alistair Lock's outstanding orchestral score.
Edgar Allan Poe's well-known allegory on our mortality, The Masque of the Red Death, follows.
Then Jeffrey Combs reads the concluding part of Lovecraft's Herbert West: Reanimator series, The Tomb Legions.
Finishing up Volume 13 is Poe's 1843-penned poem, "The Conqueror Worm".
Wilkie Collins
Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was an English novelist and playwright. Born in London, Collins was raised in England, Italy, and France by William Collins, a renowned landscape painter, and his wife Harriet Geddes. After working for a short time as a tea merchant, he published Antonina (1850), his literary debut. He quickly became known as a leading author of sensation novels, a popular genre now recognized as a forerunner to detective fiction. Encouraged on by the success of his early work, Collins made a name for himself on the London literary scene. He soon befriended Charles Dickens, forming a strong bond grounded in friendship and mentorship that would last several decades. His novels The Woman in White (1859) and The Moonstone (1868) are considered pioneering examples of mystery and detective fiction, and enabled Collins to become financially secure. Toward the end of the 1860s, at the height of his career, Collins began to suffer from numerous illnesses, including gout and opium addiction, which contributed to his decline as a writer. Beyond his literary work, Collins is seen as an early advocate for marriage reform, criticizing the institution and living a radically open romantic lifestyle.
