Synopsis

Early American Gothic Stories and Poems is the first of the ‘By Candlelight’ series of “bedtime stories for grown-ups” meant to be read in the spirit of reviving that long-beloved childhood tradition of storytime.

All the stories and poems in this volume were written between 1820 and 1936 and represent what editor Nina Alvarez considers a toothsome cross-section of early American literature in the gothic tradition.

"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving
"Haunted Houses" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe
