Jack Snow is best remembered as the author of several of the original Oz books. But behind the moon and beyond the rain lies a land filled with terror. It lurks between the covers of this fascinating collection of eight supernatural tales.

Within the short span of his tragic life, Jack Snow combined the style of America's greatest fantasy writer, L. Frank Baum, with the sensibility of the master of horror, H. P. Lovecraft, to achieve a unique narrative voice, richly detailed and full of atmosphere.

Now, in Spectral Snow, the best and rarest of Jack Snow's short fiction has been gathered from a wide variety of sources -- including Weird Tales, the classic magazine of horror and the supernatural -- to appear for the first time in one volume.

Each story has been newly illustrated by award-winning illustrator Eric Shanower, and the volume includes a revealing afterword by David Maxine.

Jack Snow's eight Darkest Fantasies are:

MIDNIGHT

THE ROPE
