valarltdThis has been driving me nuts!
The books are:
Ten Tales Calculated to give you Shudders Ross Olney, ed. It contains Bloch's Sweets to the Sweet and Floral Tribute, Jacobs's The Monkey's Paw, The Waxwork by A. M. Burrage, Used Car by H.R. Wakefield, The Inexperienced Ghost by H.G. Wells, The Whisting Room by William Hope Hodgson, The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi, Second Night Out by Frank Belknap Long, The Hills Beyond Furcy by Robert G. Anderson
Science Fiction Adventures from Way Out edited by Roger Elwood
The Lights of Mars by Raymond F. Jones, The Face of the Enemy by Gail Kimberly, Buck and the Gents from Space by Mack Reynolds, A Matter of Choice by B.J. Lytle, Teddi by Andre Norton, It's So Wonderful Here by Bill Pronzini, The Little Monster by Poul Anderson and The Truth of It by Barry N. Malzberg
I also had Tales to Tremble by edited by Stephen Sutton
The Hand by Guy de Maupassant, The Middle Toe of the Right Foot by Ambrose Bierce, No. 1 Branch Line, The Signalman by Charles Dickens, Adventure of the German Student by Washington Irving, The Sutor of Selkirk by Anonymous, The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford and The Judge's House by Bram Stoker.
Thrillers and More Thrillers edited by Robert Arthur is still around if a bit worse for wear. Mrs. Manifold, The hands of Mr. Ottermole and The Poison necklace still creep me out. $4 from amazon in a used library binding.
Whee!
Still trying to remember the titles of other anthologies.
One had a story titled "the Cruel girl" but google keeps spitting clothing and Hans Christian Andersen at me. O
ne had a poem that ended with the line "the four pawed thing with the human face."
There was a story about a boy who could change things. He turned a bolt into gold, but when it broke it went back to iron. When he changed himself into a giant bug, his buddy swatted him. I think that anthology also had "Quest for the Blank Claveringi" in it, but I could be wrong.
There was another about a poor family that subsisted mostly on opossum. But when an uncle died, they buried him and the possums got at him. They had to turn honest, since they couldn't eat possum any more.
And I'm trying to get my hands on copies of The Ghost in the Swing and Tomorrow's Children That last is edited by Asimov, and rare. it runs $50+ in fair condition.
Any help from LJ land would be faboo.
