For some reason, the guy on the cover makes me think: Tony Hancock after a bad night's drinking. David

Nice cover. That must be one of the scarcest Panther titles - I can't remember seeing it before.

Kurt Singer - World's Greatest Stories Of The Occult (Panther, May 1965: originally Kurt Singer's Ghost Book, W. H. Allen, 1963) Kurt Singer - Preface
R. S. Lambert - The Shaking Tent of the Indian Medicine Man Ina Trimmer - Nemesis Ida Clyde Clark - Houdini's Story of a Call from the Dead Ida Clyde Clark - The Case of the Widow's Mite Ann Taylor - The Curse of Hamid Ida Clyde Clark - Prophetic Dreams and Precognition Kurt Singer - The Curse of King Tut Ida Clyde Clark - White Birds Over Vienna Clyde Clark - The Ghost of Cambridge University Ida Clyde Clark - When Walt Whitman Walked Again Ida Clyde Clark - The Return of Oscar Wilde Harry Wheeler (as told to John Godwin) - Curse of the Snowlands R. S. Lambert - The Amherst Mystery Kurt Singer - Ghost with a Rabbit Punch Ethel Dougan (as told to Jane Sherrod Singer) - The Bedside Vigil Richard Dimmock (as told to John Godwin) - Death Has Yellow Tusks George H. Wilson - Ghost Haunts General J. C. Smuts' House Ida Clyde Clark - Mark Twain's Dream of Death Lieutenant Harry E. Rieseberg - A Dream Locates a Treasure Ship Ida Clyde Clark - The Angry Ghost of Shakespeare Thornton Lyman - Gangway for Ghosts Ida Clyde Clark - The Rector and the Dead Hand Myron R. Brown (as told to Jane & Kurt Singer) - I Talked with the Dead Jane & Kurt Singer - Voices from an Indonesian Cemetery William Seabrook - Dead Men Working in the Cane Fields Dirk Travers (as told to C. V. Tench) - How Ghosts Hanged Three MurderersBlurb A World Tour Of The Weird And Supernatural
From the most remote corners of the world Kurt Singer has unearthed ghost stories and tales of the occult that have become uneasy legends in the countries where they occurred. From Egypt, for instance, comes the story, The Curse of King Tut, of the quite inexplicable events that followed the-breaking open of the tomb of King Tutankh-Amen, while Dead Men Working In The Cane Fields will baffle and perplex the most rational reader.
As Kurt Singer says in his preface, you may not believe in the supernatural. If you don't then read these authenticated accounts of psychic phenomena and label them delusions, tricks, products of dreams. If, on the other hand, you are among the many who have experienced inexplicable events these stories will provide many additional discomforting question marks." .... only notable for the historical significance of of being the first ever cover with a candle melting on a human skull" according to Justin in Paperback Fanatic #12 and, Seabrook's possibly dubious but bloody creepy authentic zombie encounter apart, i'm willing to bet this is dreary in a way only supernatural non-fiction can be.

Panther (December 1965)BLURB: Parsons, the detective investigating the Le Normand murder, admitted that he was completely baffled. Baffled especially by Selina, the beautiful wife of the dead professor. Who was she? Where did she come from? And what was it about her that instilled a sudden chill of fear into everyone she met? Nobody knew. For the mystery of this woman, so deep, so inexplicable, brought death to all those who finally penetrated it...
WILLIAM SLOANE'S two stories of unearthly suspense, To Walk the Night and The Edge of Running Water were written in the early years of the supernatural novel and immediately received universal acclaim. Today they are recognized as classics of their kind.

Alan Williams - Snake Water (Panther, Feb. 1966) Blurb: Greed has lured a party of four into braving a terrible journey through the poisonous swamps of the South American jungle in search of a fortune in raw diamonds.
Ben Morris: a young Welsh architect who has sailed on a slow cargo ship to a seedy South American republic in an effort to forget the tragic death of his wife.
Sammy Ryderbeit: a drunken sadist from Southern Rhodesia, whom Ben encounters when he is on the run from the police.
Mel MacDougall : a footloose, divorced English girl — beautiful, cold and utterly amoral.
Hitzi Leiter: a mysterious young white-haired German who turns out to be a psychopathic killer.
Giant carnivorous crabs, swamps, deserts, snakes, volcanoes, rival desperadoes—these are only a few of the hazards to be faced. For the reader here is another violent, exotic thriller, superbly and intelligently written, from the author of BARBOUZE and LONG RUN SOUTH.
`THE FIRST REAL CHALLENGER TO IAN FLEMING' - Books and BookmenPicked this up yesterday. As you can see, the blurb promises some kind of steamy jungle rock antics/ 'when animals attack!' hybrid and at just the 250 pages I might well take a punt in the not too distant.
