Dedication
I am pleased to dedicate this collection to my good and faithful friend Chuck Garofalo, on whom more than a little of Robert Bloch's writing spirit rests.
First words
All Robert Bloch's stories, as unconnected as they may be, are based on the fundamental fact that the word "Yuk" has two meanings.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)All he could do was tremble and watch the room swirl and listen to Adrienne's laughter. If only she could understand his motivations, if only she realized he'd acted out of genuine affection! Thornwald knew he had to tell her, so he took a deep breath and opened his mouth. "I love you," he barked.
