Howard Lovecraft was an American writer who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Despite the fact that he was virtually unknown before he died, today he is known as the most influential author in his genre. “The Mystery of the Graveyard and Other Stories” is a collection of wonderful short stories such as “The Descendant,” “Cool Air” “Pickman’s Model” and others. These stories, full of mystery and fantastic creatures, have captured the minds of readers all over the world.

Drugs, sexual obsession and a possible murder are the themes of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood". Also contained in this collection are lesser-known stories and sketeches that deal with subjects as diverse as murder, guilt and childhood.

Leonid Andreiev is widely regarded as one of the most talented writers in Russian literature. In his prose, he reflected the influence of A. Chekhov's realism, the fascination with F. Dostoevsky's psychological paradoxes, and a constant obsession with the insignificance of life and the inevitability of death, in the manner of L. Tolstoy. Written in 1909 and dedicated precisely to Tolstoy, " The Seven Who Were Hanged" is considered by many to be Andreiev's best novel. The work masterfully and simply delves into each of the tragedies of seven condemned to death, leading the reader unrelentingly to a revelation, a state of illumination that only the best works of art offer.
