Doug Bradley's Spine Chillers, Volume 2, presents four classic stories from the masters of horror literature. It kicks off with Charles Dickens' friend and collaborator Wilkie Collins' eerie tale of a man's dream of his own murder that comes too true, 'The Dream Woman'. Second on the bill is the master of American literature Edgar Allan Poe's classic story of doomed love 'The Oval Portrait'.

Hier versammeln sich Geister jeder Art: geheimnisvolle Erscheinungen, furchteinflößende Gespenster, aber auch mitleiderregende Überbleibsel vergangener Zeiten. So erzählt Edgar Allan Poe gruselig von den unheimlichen Ereignissen im "Hause Usher". Ein mysteriöser "Horla" treibt Guy de Maupassants Protagonisten in den Wahnsinn. Ludwig Bechstein berichtet vom "Fliegenden Holländer", dessen Geisterschiff zum ewigen Umherirren auf den Meeren verdammt ist.

So why then do we turn the page? We’re about to find out.
