This book contains a total of thirteen classic European and American supernatural novels, among which: "The Beggar Woman of Lucano" (1810) is one of the two earliest supernatural novels in Europe, "The Story of Willy the Tramp" (1824) is the earliest supernatural novel in Britain, and "The Queen of Spades" (1834) is the oldest in Russia. One of the earliest supernatural novels, "The Fall of Usher House" (1839) is one of Poe's two most famous supernatural novels. "The Turn of the Screw" (1898) is Henry James's most important novella and a landmark work in the history of supernatural novels.

Thriller novels (horrorstory) are a type of novel that originated in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Regardless of the subject matter, as long as the novelist intends to create a thriller effect, his works can be classified into this category. In summary, there are three main categories of themes in thriller novels: first, horrific events in real life, such as murders and disasters; second, supernatural mysterious events, such as haunted ghosts and raging demons; third, uncontrollable psychological events, such as endless rhapsody and inexplicable anxiety. Generally speaking, European and American thrillers in the 19th century mostly used the first and second categories of themes, while the "modern thrillers" of the 20th century mostly used the third category of themes. In other words, Europeans and Americans in the 19th century were mostly frightened by the "terribleness of the world", while Europeans and Americans in the twentieth century were more frightened by the "strangeness of themselves". The fourteen thrillers selected in this book are all written by famous writers and are arranged roughly in chronological order, which is enough to outline the evolution of European and American thrillers over the past two hundred years. The short thriller "Uneasy in the Burial" of the same name was written by the famous French novelist Zola and published in 1884.

Nowadays, we live on a quiet island of ignorance in the middle of a dark sea, but this does not mean that we must go sailing and explore. Although scientific research in various fields has tried its best to develop along its own trajectory, it has not caused us any harm so far. If we can one day piece together all the unrelated knowledge, then what will appear in front of us will be a very scary reality, and our situation will be full of fear. Until then, we will either be driven mad by the known truth, or we will flee the light and enter a new age of calm and darkness. --"Call of Cthulhu"

The third book in the series by the famous Japanese novelist Tetsuya Himekawa. After the first two long novels, the author completed the third work in this series with a slightly more relaxed approach. Throughout the book, the first reviewer thought that the author wanted to break through his previous style, so he experimented in the form of seven short stories. This book contains 7 short stories (with the same protagonist). It can be seen that the author is always exploring the ultimate balance between law and justice. Compared with the first two works, the pace is slower and the description of corpses is much less. In contrast, the author's writing turns to social issues: school violence, compensated dating, juvenile crime, the contradiction between fairness and justice, etc.

"The Barrier" tells the story of a widow who lost her driver in a traffic accident and caused an accident when she went to pick up high heels. "Dangerous Rookie" tells the story of a novice female driver who gets the fleeing driver into a lot of trouble for revenge. "Get Over It" tells the story of the murderer being brought to justice because of his previous mistakes. "In the Mirror" tells the story of a coach and a policeman who, for the sake of collective honor, tacitly understand each other and handle traffic accidents correctly... Although the six stories are all based on traffic accidents, each of them has its own unique approach to reading. It is a wonderful read. The whole book not only retains Keigo Higashino's good storytelling and human exploration, but also provides a critical analysis and interpretation of the current Japanese social life.
