Description

Creeps by Night is a landmark early horror anthology selected by Dashiell Hammett, gathering chilling stories from some of the most prominent literary voices of the early twentieth century. The collection includes work by John Collier, André Maurois, William Faulkner, Stephen Vincent Benét, and other notable contributors, spanning psychological horror, supernatural unease, and dark modernist themes.

Published during a formative period for horror and weird fiction, the volume reflects a shift away from Gothic excess toward subtler, more unsettling narratives grounded in psychology and atmosphere.
