Goddess of Night by leading supernatural author R. Lionel Fanthorpe, who has been called the twentieth-century Edgar Alan Poe*, is the breathtaking saga of a beautiful, sinister, night-haunting vampire-goddess and the men who crossed her moonlit path.

Trebor Thorpe's contribution The Swing of the Pendulum is the gripping tale of a dead man's vengeance and the macabre part which was played by his grandfather clock.

Bron Fane's inimitable style of supernatural thriller is discernible in The Nine Green Men. This is the blood-chilling story of strange, inhuman things whispering together near a dark, stagnant pool.

The Silent Fleet by Leo Brett is a stirring yarn of ancient, derelict ships, decaying in brackish water. Looters, who rashly enter the rotting hulls, find that although the sailors have long since gone, other things remain, sinister, evil things.

Pel Torro's Ventriloquist is the horrifying account of a man and an effigy. Can wood and plastic answer back on their own? Can a soul leave a body of flesh and blood and enter an artificial body?

Another brilliant selection from today's top authors of the weird and fantastic.

*You've got to admire the balls of this guy. And he can't even spell Poe's name right!

The hypothesis of Fear consists of two words... What If?

What if the dead return to life in hideous form? What if soul destroying Vampires live yet in the wilds of Transylvania? What if there is a shred of truth in the legend of the unhappy Baron Frankenstein...? We are afraid of what we do not understand, and there is little chance of escape from the deadly "Grip of Fear". Man has nothing to fear so much as Fear itself.

Noel Bertram, a fine writer and an absolute authority on all things ecclesiastical, sets out to solve the problem of a lost grave in his fascinating contribution "The Brass Tombstone".

Old favourite Bron Fane comes up with a masterpiece about a devilish old man who impersonates a Werwolf. This story has a very neat twist. Maybe Wervolves don't like being impersonated ..... ?

"The Secret of Dr.Stark" is even more horrifying than the reader would guess even when the doctor's housekeeper refuses to admit visitors by daylight.

Last, but by no means least, of a really fine collection of disquieting stories is "The Eight Immortals" by Trebor Thorpe. Perhaps Han-Chung-Li and the other weird Chinese dieties live on despite the inroads of the Communist aggressors.....?
