«Racconti agghiaccianti» is the horror short story anthology by Gustav Meyrink, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
Meyrink's stories combine dark, mysterious atmospheres with a satirical and ironic streak, in the vein of Voltaire's rationalism, and allude to the social and cultural situation of his era. Stories like «Danza macabra», «I cervelli» or «Castroglobina» delve into hallucination and delirium; others, such as «La maschera di gesso» or «Il gabinetto delle figure di cera», present a more physical and tangible horror.
This volume was published in 1993 in the Tascabili Economici Newton collection, in a complete edition, edited by Gianni Pilo and Sebastiano Fusco.
For readers of classic horror and early 20th-century Central European fantastic fiction.
Gustav Meyrink was the pseudonym of Gustav Meyer, an Austrian author, novelist, dramatist, translator, and banker, most famous for his novel The Golem. He has been described as the "most respected German language writer in the field of supernatural fiction".
