"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form… As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves. H. P. Lovecraft Horror intends to create an eerie and frightening atmosphere for the reader. Prevalent elements include ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, ghouls, the Devil, witches, monsters, dystopian and apocalyptic worlds, serial killers, cannibalism, psychopaths, cults, dark magic, Satanism, the macabre, gore, and torture.

The Upper Berth

"In 1894, American writer Francis Marion Crawford published the popular novel 'The Upper Berth.' 'Mr Crawford's weird story of the Upper Berth is no doubt one of the best ghost stories we have had .... It is a novelty in the literature of supernatural. Crawford treats his subject a vigor and a realism that will make the flesh of ordinary reader creep and will stir the nerves even the most hardened and skeptical.' Every now and again, the smell sea water permeates the air, as if the cabin had been flooded and never properly repaired. The porthole opens repeatedly in the night with no conceivable reason. And the last few passengers who have slept in the upper berth have run through the ship like men possessed to throw themselves into the ocean. Mr. Brisbane, resident of the lower berth, and the ship's captain wait up all night to get to the bottom of the mystery... and neither will ever sail on that boat again."

Man Overboard!

"Peculiar happenings aboard the schooner Helen B. Jackson when one night during a storm, the small crew found themselves diminished by one. Somebody had gone overboard, and it was surmised that it was one of the twin Benton brothers. But oddly enough, it seemed that the 'presence' of the missing twin continued to exist on board during the following weeks. For example, one extra set of silverware was found to be used after each meal, but nobody claimed to be using them. What then did happen that stormy night, and which brother, if indeed it was one of the brothers, was the man who went overboard?"

[Spanish] - La calavera que gritaba

"Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Francis Marion Crawford escritor con un gran número de novelas y cuentos de terror. En “La calavera que gritaba”- “The Screaming Skull” el miedo se alimenta del arrepentimiento, un supuesto asesinato, una misteriosa calavera que no quiere guardar silencio, un viento que mueve a la imaginación a creer, oír y ver fantasmas o ¿es real?... Relato corto que no pasó desapercibido en su época pero que con el tiempo quedó de alguna manera en el olvido y fue recopilado en muy pocas antologías del género. El Screaming Skull es una criatura sobrenatural del folklore inglés. Generalmente se encuentra en casas, y cuentan las leyendas que los cráneos no deben ser sacados de su lugar de descanso, pues el hacerlo provocará fenómenos aterradores y sobre naturales . Un Screaming Skull no es un objeto animado ni un fantasma, tal vez sea ambos. “ La he oído gritar a menudo. No, no estoy nervioso, ni me dejo llevar por la imaginación. Sigo sin creer en fantasmas, a menos que esto sea uno. Sea lo que sea me odia”. Francis Marion Crawford 1854-1909"

Francis Marion Crawford was an American writer who lived in the period 1854 – 1909. His literary legacy consists mainly of novels, a big part of which are set in Italy, the place where he spent most of his life. Crawford objected to the realistic fiction that was popular at the time and he preferred writing romantic novels with vivid and colorful depictions. Some of his best known works are the 'Don Orsino', 'Sant’ Ilario' and 'Corleone' but he also wrote several short stories, which are often described as classics of the horror genre. Although Francis Crawford lived in Italy, wrote about Italy and stood apart from the American literature, he had a strong connection with his homeland and travelled there often."
