Twisted minds conduct experiments on themselves and others in Edith Nesbit and Robert Louis Stevensons fiction, while other bizarre, paranormal experiences have onlookers struggling to believe what their instincts tell them. In Ambrose Bierces The Damn Thing, a sceptical jury stand around the corpse of a man who died in suspicious circumstances. For the terrified witness, words fail to convey what exactly he saw...Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library, a series of stunning pocket-sized classics.
