We've not attempted a boring list for several weeks, so to ease us back, a brief look at Robinson spin-off, Raven, "the cutting edge in fantasy & horror", who published some excellent work during their predictably short life-span (1994-1996?). Not sure if this is the complete list - in fact, i doubt it very much! - so, as ever, would be grateful if you could point out the glaring omissions.

Les Daniels'
The Don Sebastian Chronicles collected the novels
The Black Castle,
The Silver Skull and
Citizen Vampire in one volume. As far as i'm aware, this was the first and, to date, only time
Citizen Vampire (a vampires-eye view of the French Revolution) has seen publication in the UK.
The Masterpieces Of Shirley Jackson, introduced by Donna Tartt, collects
The Haunting Of Hill House,
We Have Always Lived In The Castle and
The Lottery (i'm not sure if that's
The Lottery the story or the entire collection of the same name?).
I put asterisks against Jay Russell's novel
Blood and Robert Phillips
The Omnibus Of 20th Century Ghost Stories as I'm not sure if they belong to the series.
Omnibus ... was a collection of supernatural stories by noted literary figures, Virginia Woolf, Truman Capote, Murial Spark, Dylan Thomas, etc. (think Peter Haining's
The Lucifer Society and you're there).
