Murder on the Menu - Volume 1 - (Souvenir Press 1991)
The title and the large print advertising RUTH RENDELL AGATHA CHRISTIE suggest this is mainly crime, but there's actually quite a few horror stories in this one, most notably the stories by Hartley and Besant & Rice, and Ellin's masterpiece, which, alas, is now so famous and over-anthologised that it can't ever again hope to have the same effect on a reader that it once did.
