Continuing in the countdown, horror short story 37 comes to us from Charles Fenno Hoffman (1806-1884). During the fifty-year period in question he was known for a detailed and observant writing style. Hoffman's tales: "A Winter in the West," "Adirondacks," "Romance of the Mohawks," and "Greyslaer" earned him popularity among the literati of the day; the first being a collection of short stories. He also wrote poetry, much of it anonymously; and penned three hit songs. For our purposes, however, Charles Hoffman has given us a fine horror tale of sensation. I will provide a link to it in my next post.
