Item #764

BROWN, Roberta Simpson, Queen of the Cold-Blooded Tales, 1994, 175 pp. $19.00 HB

Brown, who bills herself as "Louisville's Queen of Terror," is a professional storyteller and she has a macabre sense of humor which relaxes the reader so she can sneak up behind him and slit his throat. She writes of witches and ghosts hell-bent for revenge, dripping body parts, and various types of ick-with-teeth. Short, efficient gross-out tales just right for the campfire and sleep-over.

Item #564

CRAWFORD, F. Marion, For the Blood is the Life and Other Stories, 1911, 311 pp. $5.99

Known best for his much-anthologized story, "The Upper Berth," Crawford could also spin a creepy vampire/ghost yarn, as in the title story—which fascinated and horrified me as a child--or make his readers’ flesh creep in a hundred little ways.

Contents: The Dead Smile, The Screaming Skull, Man Overboard!, For the Blood is the Life, The Upper Berth, By the Waters of Paradise, The Doll’s Ghost, The King’s Messenger

Item #566

Item #567

DOYLE, Arthur Conan, The Best Supernatural Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle, Selected and Introduced by E.F. Bleiler, 1979, 302 pp. $8.95

The creator of Sherlock Holmes was also one of the principal supporters of Spiritualism, wanting desperately to believe following the death of his son in the First World War. Doyle was painfully, endearingly gullible, but he knew how to spin a creepy yarn.

Item #568

FREEMAN, Mary Wilkins, The Wind in the Rosebush, 1986, 258 pp. SORRY! This book is now out of print. Ask us to find you a nice used copy.

Some of Freeman's friends remember conversations with her about the notion that "every New England village hides a mysterious secret or a hidden crime." These six stories will draw the reader into a brooding New England where ghosts dwell and evil is real.
