E.T.A. Hoffmann was an enormous talent writing long before the market for weird fiction came into focus. One of the first great horror magazines -- Weird Tales -- stole the title of this two-volume collection without so much as a note of thanks Anyway, if you like weird fiction (probably a better word for the genre than horror), you'll love Hoffmann's Weird Tales.
