Classics of Terror, Horror, and the Supernatural for the Halloween Season 2024 Edition

75+ true "classics" of dark fantasy and horror. As much as possible, I've tried to picture editions that are still easily obtainable; hence the large number of Penguin Classics. I arbitrarily decided that the works to be included should be at least 50 years old (even though the editions are newer), but I then made exceptions for a few more recent works by King, Straub, and others that are already considered to be classics of the genre.
