The Alchemist by H. P. Lovecraft
The Alchemist by H. P. Lovecraft High up, crowning the grassy summit of a swelling mound whose sides are wooded near the base with the gnarled trees of the primeval forest, stands the old chateau of my ancestors. For centuries its lofty battlements have frowned down upon the wild and rugged countryside about, serving as […]

Personally I have always felt that such help as I have been able to render them in two or three different cases was most largely due to luck, and […]
The Horrible by Guy de Maupassant

On one side of this inlet is a beautiful dark grove; on the […]
THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM by Edgar Allen Poe
THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM
Impia tortorum longos hic turba furores
Sanguinis innocui, non satiata, aluit.
Sospite nunc patria, fracto nunc funeris antro,
Mors ubi dira fuit vita salusque patent.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
