A collection in with the editor basically says he doesn't much like horror of the werewolves and zombies ripping into people variety, so if you are looking for any of that, you won't find it here.

This collection ranges from the rather old-fashioned to reasonably recent, with more of the former.

Also, from amusing to nasty, so a pretty decent variety of stories, including some rare pieces he has dug up himself, and the odd famous piece too : e.g. Lovecraft.
