Three spine-chilling horror stories by three masters of the macabre. In "Hop-Frog", a gruesome tale by America's father of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe, a king's jester, both a dwarf and a cripple, exacts a terrible revenge. Ambrose Bierce's "The Boarded Window" is a frightening and deeply sad story of death, grief, and terror on the frontier by the classic writer of the American West. In "The Body Snatcher", by Robert Louis Stevenson, the British author better known for his children's books, morally corrupt medical students rob graves of fresh corpses until on black night when they meet a grisly fate.

John Charles Poe, a small-town reporter in Crowley, Virginia, drinks a lot of bourbon and works because he doesn't have to. The heir to the family fortune, he has just received the most unusual part of the Poe legacy-the casket. The three-foot-long wooden box contains the notes and personal papers of the Poe men dating back to the eerie and mysterious Edgar Allen. It is passed on to every male Poe on his thirtieth birthday. John Charles has sworn not to divulge its secrets, but a call from his oldest friend, Roderick Usher, on the verge of a breakdown, may justify a broken oath.
