After droning on about my lack of love for the post-Prohibition de Grandins, I recognise and fondly remember a number of these, Suicide Chapel and House Where Time Stood Still (essentially a rewrite of his misogynist mad surgeon classic, The House of Horror) being particular favourites. The Man in Crescent Terrace is a not so bad bizarre mummy story; Kurt Singer thought highly enough of Catspaw and Lords of the Ghostlands to include them in his Ghost Omnibus. Clair de Lune resurfaced in the 5th Pan Horror. All I recall of Vampire Kith and Kin is really disliking it, no idea why.
