This is an anthology of short stories by some of the top fantasy writers. First time in print, compiled and published in 1984 are works by McCammon, Matheson, Williamson, Bloch,Bradbury, Beaumont and more. Writers who have publishing creds with Playboy, Penthouse, Esquire, Ellery Queen and numbers of anthology collections. Twilight Zone, Battlestar Galactia, The A-Team, The Saint and Alfred Hitchcock to name a few.

I am more of a mystery fan than fantasy, but these stories have mystery in them in that you wonder how they happened and if they really could. The first one may make you sleep uneasy at night during stormy weather. "Nightcrawlers" by Robert R. McCammon, is a tale about a Viet Nam vet and his dreams, taking place in a diner in an out of the way area during a raging storm. Is the resulting damage caused by the storm or by ???

Another one to make you think is "Angel's Exchange" by Jessica Amanda Salmonson. A conversation between Death and Sleep and how they feel their existences are similar, different, the good and the bad. A short two pages that sticks with you.

There is also a tribute to Charles Beaumont, one of the masters of the genre who died quite young. Also is the first time printing of an early short story titled "My Grandmother's Japonicas".

There are stories in here that will really haunt your mind. I know they are still chasing around in mine. ( )
