Nathaniel Hawthorne 
Mosses from an Old Manse (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1846, this short-story collection contains some of Hawthorne’s darkest allegories.  Herman Melville, reviewing the collection, wrote, ‘You may be witched by his sunlight . . . but there is the blackness of darkness beyond; and even his bright gildings but fringe and play upon the edges of thunder-clouds.’
