What's the name of this Brian Lumley story?

[H_P_Saucecraft]

I'm trying to work out the name of this Brian Lumley story. I think it was in fruiting bodies (haven't got a copy to check, myself, read it from the library years ago).

It involves a salesman (I think), getting stranded in an odd town, when the road he came into it by, has simply vanished & no attempt to locate it is successful.

I think there was also another man there, who had the same problem & has been stuck there for 15 years. If I remember rightly, the salesman has been lured to the town, by the other man, to become his replacement, so he can escape. Any ideas?

i don't have Fruiting Bodies, but know most of the stories from various antho's and mags. one i've never read/ seen is No Way Home - could that be your man?

[H_P_Saucecraft]

That title would fit, but I don't know for certain. I'll have to check my Lumley collections, to see if any of them have 'No Way Home'.

Saucey, it is in Fruiting Bodies and other Fungi

I think Beardsley was in a Hugh Lamb antho, and isn't Necros in one of Amy Myer's Midnight books?
