This arrived yesterday. A nice hardcover, published in 2011. Frankly the foreword is a bit disappointing, I had expected some more information. And the different fontsize on the last pages of the foreword is ugly and not very professional. There is a vol.2 announced, but in late 2011, so I guess we´ll have to wait and see. Oh, and I can´t stand the coverart. But the stories shape up to be interesting, Fresh Fiances is included, and the first story is exactly the mayhem I expected of Fischer/Gray. You have to admire the cheek of the editor to print this back then. ;D As I discovered you can buy Fresh Fiances now as a Kindle download from an outfit named Peril Press.  |

Santy Claus brought me mine at Christmas. Don't try reading it in one sittitng though!  Take care. Doug P.S. the stories are silly enough to not be truly offensive,were as Laymon is offensive enough to not be truly silly. (just an observation/opinion. Not trolling) |

Don't try reading it in one sittitng though! Take care. Doug Lol, no, I know. If you do that you are burned out fast and avoid it for the rest of the year. I still havn´t finished my Seabury Quinn vol I, not mention vol II and III. Same goes for the the complete Clark Ashton Smith.  |

I still havn´t finished my Seabury Quinn vol I, not mention vol II and III. Same goes for the the complete Clark Ashton Smith. I know exactly what you mean! I also have the complete CAS and the 6 old Popular Library editions of the DeGrandin stories and as much as I dearly love these guys i have to ratio´n them out. As far as the Gray stories go, if you read too many in one sitting you get numb to the atrociousness and the awfulness is half the fun! take care. Doug |

Girls For The Pain Dance, School Mistress Of The Mad - you just don't get proper titles any more, do you? Other than the mighty Fresh Fiances ..., the only one i've read from this collection is The Gargoyles of Madness ("The old man coughed blood. "All right' he gasped. "I was mad. Now that I'm dying I realise it. Give me page and pencil. I'll write a confession.") in Rob Weinberg's Uncanny Tales, quite the feast of lecherous slobbering and drooling idiocy it is, too, although on this occasion he's outdone by Donald Graham's revolting contribution which can't have happened too often. See what you mean about the cover artwork, though.
