On with the first story in my countdown of the best classic horror short stories from 1800-1849!
The 40th best short horror story from 1800-1849 was published anonymously in the July-December issue of The Casket for 1839. This was a fine monthly magazine published in Philadelphia. It often ran stories of the macabre. The one at issue is called Running the Gauntlet. By clicking on the title you can read this fine tale of horror on the seas for yourself. Let me know what you think. The next post will reveal the criteria used to exclude stories from being considered for this countdown.
