10 noveller om död, vansinne, skuld, dunkla hemligheter och det förflutnas skuggor, vilka med all tydlighet visar varför Hawthorne (1804–64) vid sidan av Edgar Allan Poe och Herman Melville räknas till den mörka romantikens amerikanska mästare. Boken innehåller också Poes recension av ”Twice-Told Tales” (som föreliggande urval är hämtat från) och ett initierat förord av Sten Wistrand.
