🎃 Happy Halloween! *A Century of Horror* is from Theodore Dreiser’s Library—thus explaining why the author’s name is marked up in graphite on the cover. It’s fantastic how much information the thick, thousand-page spine offers the reader. From just a glimpse on the shelf one can see that this anthology is comprised of 47 authors and 52 stories. The dismembered, bleeding arm is also an eye-catching, spine-chilling feature. Writer and editor Dennis Wheatley, who created the Gregory Sallust series which would inspire Ian Fleming’s James Bond stories, also compiled *A Century of Spy Stories* in 1938, three years after this anthology. ✋🏽🗡 Call number: PN6071.H727 C46 1935 * * * #spinetingling #librarychallenge #halloween #anthology #horrorstories #horror #happyhalloween #theodoredreiser #denniswheatley #specialcollections #kislakcenter #pennlibraries https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmkL5Fg4Ry/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15ssd3b6px5rt
