W. Jacobs - The Monkey's Paw Saki - The Seventh PulletAs ade has pointed out elsewhere, this over-sized collection isn't about the largely over-familiar written content, but the marvellous illo's, many of which would go on to become cover paintings themselves. For the record, the artists showcased are Jim Burns, Gordon Crabb, Les Edwards, Bob Fowke, Peter Goodfellow, Stuart Hughes, Terry Oakes and George Smith. Of those I've been able to recognise so far: Les Edwards: Michel Parry's Mayflower Black Magic nos. 1, 3, 4 & 6 and Reign Of Terror 4: Fontana Horror #10, Giles Gordon's Book Of Contemporary Nightmares, Haining's Weird Tales 1 (Sphere, 1978), Graham Masterton's Charnel House, Robert Black's Legend Of The Werewolf and Ronald Holmes' Witchcraft In British History.
