Armchair Fiction features the best in classic horror and fantasy short story collections, complete with original illustrations. “Masters of Horror, Vol. Six: Dorothy Quick, Mistress of Dark Fantasy, Illustrated Edition” contains fifteen superb tales of mystical horror by another great Weird Tales veteran. Dorothy Quick was one of the quintessential female talents of the golden age of horror and fantasy fiction and this is probably the best, most comprehensive collection of her works. From 1935 through 1954 Dorothy was a mainstay in the most celebrated weird fiction magazine of them all, Weird Tales. Although she could write straightforward horror tales with the best of them (some of which are included in this volume), one can easily deduce that in many of her stories Dorothy Quick was an author captivated by visions of macabre romance and ghostly personages. She spun tales of horrific love, otherworldly beings, and nightmarish adventures, many of which take place in days long since past. All this different fare you will sample in this fantastic collection, which creates for you an amalgamation of horror, mystery, and suspense that doesn’t let up for over 300 pages. With each story you will be pulled into worlds of enchanting and terrifying splendor that will haunt your dreams all night long. Here are fifteen of Dorothy’s most shudder-inducing tales.
