Description
Originally published as a limited edition hardcover by Arkham House, Robert Bloch's collection Pleasant Dreams (1960) contains some of his finest horror stories. Featured here are gems like "Catnip," in which a young thug burns down a witch's house and now faces a reckoning with her black cat, "The Light-House," a unique collaboration with Edgar Allan Poe, and the Hugo Award-winning tale "That Hell-Bound Train," in which a deal with the devil ends with a surprising revelation as to who got show more the better end of the bargain. These fifteen tales, originally published in Weird Tales and other magazines in the 1940s and '50s, represent Bloch at his best. This edition is the first unabridged reprint in decades and features a new introduction by Joe R. Lansdale. show lessTags
