Beschreibung

A Haunting Note collects twenty tales that tease open the veil to supernatural realms through diabolical melodies, ghastly symphonies, and uncanny harmonies. Musical instruments offer Faustian bargains to unwary musicians, while cursed songs seek to destroy body and soul. As weird fiction, ghost stories, and cautionary tales, this collection will provide enjoyable nights' entertainment for the enthusiastic reader of classic speculative fiction.
The stories include: The Old Nurse's Story (Elizabeth Gaskell, 1852); The Murderer's Violin (É. Erckmann and A. Chatrian, 1860); A Legend of the North (Anonymous, 1866); The Lost Song (M. B.
