'The Listener' by Algernon Blackwood

'The Listener' First, it was a strange array of cats, then an increasingly mysterious, and then terrifying increase in...happenstances and...appearances... 'Number Thirteen' Unlucky for some this room is...on a visit to a Denmark with an ancient presence... 'The Horla' Yes, I believed, that an invisible being lived beneath my roof. How weak our head is, and how quickly it is terrified and goes astray, we immediately imagine terrible mysteries and supernatural powers. 'The Beast with Five Fingers' With murderous vengeance, the beast pursues the two friends. Will secrecy, intense surveillance and a marked attention to battening down save them? 'Sister Maddalena' Will a trapped and tragic woman finally find peace? 'Thrawn Janet' A lost soul wandering the Scottish moor. Is she misunderstood? Is she ill? Or is she in league with the devil himself? 'The Yellow Cat' A terrifying tale at sea! But what is it about the ship's cat? 'Letter to Sura' Who says ancient Rome can't have ghost stories? - Summary by The Reader
