In this chilling tale, a prisoner faces a terrifying fate: death by slow torture in the infamous iron coffin of Lissa. As he's thrown into the dark, confined space, the lid slowly descending, he must confront his deepest fears and the grim reality of his inescapable doom. With each passing moment, the air grows fouler, the rats hungrier, and the agony more unbearable. August W. Derleth masterfully builds an atmosphere of despair and horror that will keep readers in suspense until the story's haunting conclusion. A true classic of the horror genre, "The Coffin of Lissa" is not for the faint of heart.
