Thanks Steve. Yes I remember it now. I think the Duke used it on the Wheatley site. Glad to know old A. V. survived Devil Worship! I thought maybe he'd fallen into the clutches of the crap North London coven. Another for the list.

We are the king! We are the King!
Prefer your 1970 effort to C. Lee flashing his fangs yet again in his career-long struggle to live down his Dracula persona.

You boys are good. Damn good!
Summoned From the Tomb first appeared in paperback from mushroom publishers Digit in 1965, which might explain the number of crap reprints Steve mentions.

I have a feeling that however accurate we try and get the Haining bibliography, another book or several will come to light later just to trip us up. And it will probably be something we've a copy of! But I'd settle for Fanatic and Vault having the nearest to complete listing any day. You boys are good. damn good! I've waited to hear that from somebody since I first saw The Warriors!

Nobody could accuse Peter of being precious about his back-catalogue, could they?
Got pedantic if you want it.
The Midnight People saw reincarnation as Vampires At Midnight (Warners, 1993). I've also seen advertised a Haining book entitled Vampires At Midnight and published in the US by "Grosset & Dunlap, 1970"
Tales Of A Monster Hunter became Monster Movies for its Robert Hale revival in 1994. It is not to be confused with Movie Monsters (Severn House, 1988), which is a different selection entirely!
The Shilling Shockers:Tales From The Gothic Bluebooks was abbreviated to Tales From The Gothic Bluebooks for it's Gargoyle's Head reissue, 1995. I would not be at all surprised if The Mysterious Novice: Tales of Terror from the Gothic Bluebooks (Apocryphile Press, 2007) turns out to be the same book in drag.
Not to forget, there's the amended and extended The Hell of Mirrors (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1974) that was reissued as Everyman's Book Of Classic Horror Stories (Dent, 1976)

How about this one? Macdonald, 1970 There's something about that jolly skull face that makes it look like an illustration from an Enid Blyton book.

Picked up a really nice condition 1965 Four Square edition of this a while back, and after reading JLP's review of 'Horror Of Malformed Men', read 'The Caterpillar' by Rampo last night. A Japanese Charles Birkin? Found it quite an affecting story and made me want to read more. (Also made me want to read more anthologies).

This still seems to be the only translated collection of his work, Bush. Edogawa Rampo - Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination.

As I found this in the depth of my collection I wanted to do a new thread, but found this one instead. (This is "Hell of Mirrors" according to the copyright page). So I do it here if it is all right. Couldn´t find a coverscan in the thread. J.M.Dent & Sons Ltd; Everyman Paperback Edition, 1976 Content: Introduction Edgar Allan Poe - Ligeia Nathaniel Hawthorne - Young Goodman Brown Le Fanu - Schalken the Painter Guy de Maupassant - The Drowned Man E.T.A. Hoffman - The Sandman Ambrose Bierce - The Middle Toe of The Right Foot Bram Stoker - The Squaw M.R. James - Oh, Whistle, and I´ll Come to you, my Lad Algernon Blackwood - The old Man of Visions H.P. Lovecraft - The Nameless City Robert Bloch - The Hell-Bound Train Ray Bradbury - The Emissary Edogawa Rampo - The Hell of Mirrors Mervyn Peake - Dance Macabre Arthur Porges - The FanaticThis has a nice introduction. Haining sure knew his game.

This is very different from the NEL edition which doesn't include the M. R. James, Blackwood, Lovecraft, Bloch, Bradbury, Peake or E. T. A. Hoffman stories. in their place you get four you probably don't need again and two relatively underused gems:
Frederick Marryat - The Werewolf Edgar Allan Poe - The Black Cat Ambrose Bierce - The Damned Thing Guy de Maupassant - Who Knows? Edogawa Rampo - The Caterpillar Henry Slesar - The Knocking in the Castle
We should have a thread for E. T. A. Hoffman!
