🔪ON THE TWENTY-SECOND DAY OF #TALESOFTERROR 🔪
Alfred Hitchcock (apparently) presents a series of anthologies of stories, often for young readers, in the 60s and 70s. Although Hitchcock merely licensed his name for use, the covers evoking his cameos are a particular treat!

Day 24 of #TalesofTerror #GothicAdvent
For Christmas Eve we end on an earlier incarnation of Dickens' Christmas Carol with illustrations and #Magiclantern slides of his short story "The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton" (1836) - originally a tale within the novel Pickwick Papers.
Day 21 of the #TalesofTerror #GothicAdvent
Stephen Gammell's disturbing illustrations for "Scary Stories to Tell on the Dark" (1981) the first of three collections of folklore and urban legend retold for children by Alvin Schwartz.
Day 12!
#TalesofTerror #GothicAdvent
Brian Coldrick's "Behind You: One-Shot Horror Stories" (2017) is an illustration series, a comic with no panels, where each piece is essentially a separate story.
There are also some very cool gif versions! https://t.co/eyMG50l675
Peering behind door 8 of the #TalesofTerror #GothicAdvent we spy Kate Baylay's ghoulishly enchanting illustrations for the new Folio edition of Seven Gothic Tales (1934) by Danish author Isak Dinesen's (aka Karen Blixen).
Day 4 of the #TalesofTerror #GothicAdvent is the cover inspired by the ghastly gastrapods in Patricia Highsmith's utterly disturbing titular short story "The Snail-Watcher".
