Body Snatcher and Other Tales

"e;The Body Snatcher and Other Tales"e; is a collection of three ghoulish tales by Robert Louis Stevenson. In the first story, "e;The Body Snatcher"e;, we find Fettes and Wolfe Macfarlane engaged in the dubious business of stealing corpses for a famous unnamed professor of anatomy. In the second story, "e;The Bottle Imp"e;, we learn of a magic bottle that contains a wish-granting imp. The only catch is that the bottle must be sold at a loss or its owner's soul will burn for eternity in Hell. In the third and final story, "e;The Merry Men"e;, we have the tale of Charles Darnaway who is in search of the sunken treasure of a Spanish Armada ship that he believes crashed long ago against the "e;Merry Men"e;, a series of breakers that roar a hundred feet high off the coast where his Uncle Gordon lives. Fans of the macabre will be delighted by this collection of Stevenson's more frightening tales.
