Ravenous Rats: An Anthology of Rodent Horror and Weird Short Stories

by William Hope Hodgson, Bram Stoker, Herman Fetzer, John York Cabot, Morgan Robertson

Overview

Step into the darkness where the skittering of claws means terror is near!

Ravenous Rats brings together 13 chilling tales of horror, weird fiction, and dark scifi—each starring one of humanity's oldest and most dreaded companions: the rat.
From haunted houses to sunken ships, from derelict cities to subterranean crypts, these classic short stories showcase the rodent as more than vermin—they are omens, devourers, and monstrous symbols of decay. This anthology features spine-tingling works from legendary authors of the macabre, such as Henry Kuttner, William Hope Hodgson, Bram Stoker, Robert E. Howard and more!
Whether creeping through sewers, scratching behind walls, swarming in endless waves, or in human form, the rats in these pages gnaw at the fragile edges of sanity itself.
Perfect for fans of Lovecraftian horror, gothic chills, and vintage weird fiction, Ravenous Rats is a must-have for readers who dare to descend into the darkness where creepy rodents reign.
Great for the Halloween spooky season or anytime!
