W. H. Cozens (ed.) - The Pan Book of Revenge Stories (1971) Revenge orthodox and unorthodox - a wild justice, an inexorable hate, a triumph over death, hot as the fires of Hell, cold as Arctic depths, a sweetness to woman, and it's own executioner.Introduction - W. H. Cozens
W. W. Jacobs - Captain Rogers
Jack London - The Sun-Dog Trail
Jack Cope - Stonewall's Ghost
Guy De Maupassant - A Vendetta
John P. Foran - No Alibi
John McGhee - Little Kind Of Fellow
Saki - Laura
Brian Cleeve - The Revenge Of Big Michael
H. G. Wells - The Cone
David Alexander - Scarecrow
Arthur Gordon - Arctic Vengeance
John Steinbeck - The Murder
A. Neil Lyons - The Honeymoon
Edgar Allan Poe - The Cask Of Amontillado Much of the content is more inclined toward the crime/ thriller genres, but i'm not gonna argue with the horror credentials of any book that includes The Cone and The Cask Of Amontillado, Laura and Vendetta. And, of course, there's the little matter of that cover! He's lovely, isn't he?!!
