Bryan A. Netherwood - Terror!

[alansjf]

I don't think I've seen this one mentioned here, another fine anthology from Netherwood (Uncanny, Medley Macabre):

Bryan A. Netherwood, Ed.: Terror! (Blackie & Sons, 1970)



(cover: John Dyke)

Rudyard Kipling - The Mark of the Beast
Algernon Blackwood - A Haunted Island
Mrs Edith Bland - No.17
Elliott O'Donnell - The Top Attic in Pringle's Mansion, Edinburgh
William H. Hodgson - The Derelict
E. & H. Heron - The Story of the Moor Road
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - The Brown Hand
J. Sheridan Le Fanu - The White Cat of Drumgunniol
Edward L. White - Amina
H. R. Wakefield - Professor Pownall's Overnight

I'm a big fan of Netherwood's anthologies, not least because he seemed to favour the kind of 'Jamesian' ghost stories I've always enjoyed.

Thanks for posting this, Alan - I've been trying to track Terror! for years with zero success!

It's a great shame Netherwood didn't get a few more of these under his belt as, given the chance, he might even have given Peter Haining a run for his money.
