The Robert Bloch story is great macabre fun as is Avallone's, which sees an obsessive Poe fanatic find out just what it's like to be walled up alive. Kim Newman wrote a variation on Bloch's story, The Man Who Collected Barker (as in Clive, not Ronnie) for Fantasy Tales magazine. I even enjoyed Bloch's posthumous 'collaboration' with EAP, The Lighthouse. Told in diary form, it details the decline of an unnamed misanthrope into madness and despair after he wills a beautiful woman from the ocean floor to be his companion. To me though, the best thing about any book Sam Moskowicz has a hand in is Sam Moskowicz himself. His notes and introductions are always worth reading, even if I'm not so sure I'm that interested in the story in question.
