I couldn't just stand there while one of you fellows inevitably did all the heavy lifting on another 100 LITTLE book. What with WEIRD TALES just about exhausted, this one cherrypicks some of the better (and briefer) terror tales from the 70s onward. Of course, there are a few choice antiquities strewn about. Good news! Only ASTOUNDING ALIENS and MENACING MURDERS are left....unless you fancy those all-original WITCH and VAMPIRE opii (I'd personally advise against, but difference of opinion makes a horse race...)

Before anyone registers a complaint: technically I suppose the plural of "opus" is ...(echh)..."opuses". But simple human decency precludes my using such a linguistic monstrosity. Thus, opii.
