I haven't been able to find a heading for "The Hollywood Nightmare" which was the first Peter Haining book I ever read, and was responsible for introducing me to J G Ballard.

The two Haining anthologies I recently picked up:

i'd rate Beyond The Curtain Of The Dark as his first truly great anthology. I think he was attempting to emulate his anthologist hero August Derleth's The Sleeping And The Dead. Amazingly, i don't think we have a thread for Detours Into The Macabre (aka The Lucifer Society. Maybe all that "Vault is anti-literature" stuff is true after all.

I have that same Pinnacle edition of Beyond the Curtain of Dark, and like Dem said, it's a great anthology. In addition to the stories mentioned on the thread for the book, I'd specifically recommend Ray Bradbury's "Fever Dream," Theodore Sturgeon's "The Other Celia," and Fredric Brown's "Come and Go Mad."

Haven't seen this listed, but.....classic Haining. The book has nary a dungeon nor dragon in it, certainly nothing remotely associated with the game D & D, and Bradbury's brief introduction is cover-milked to the point where you'd think it's one of his books. Still and all? A pretty good anthology...... once you get past the amazingly dishonest packaging!

Thanks for the tip, dr. joe. It was the prospect of this being a collection of D&D-inspired tales scared me away from this collection, but it looks really strong. A tragic compulsive disorder dictates I add the specs.

I've just seen that Mike Ashley had another article of interest, "Shepherds Of Shadow: Hugh Lamb" in The Scream Factory 14. Now I have to hunt that down too!

Which, of course, I didn't buy at the time. While it seems like I don't need it now, I must hunt down Mike Ashley's other article "Shepherds Of Shadow: Hugh Lamb", which I assume was itself resurrected in Forgotten Ghosts: The Supernatural Anthologies of Hugh Lamb.

I've just checked. "Shepherds of Shadow: Hugh Lamb" was reprinted for Forgotten Ghosts. Not that anyone cares.
