Blurb:
He was a big man. Massive. And every inch of him was illustrated. When his flesh twitched the colours burned in three dimensions. And the people moved, the tiny mouths flickered and voices rose, small and muted. Sixteen illustrations, sixteen tales. The first illustration quivered and came to life …

A SELECTION OF SPECIALITIES FROM THE MASTER OF FANTASY AND HORROR…

A crazy scheme to bring peace to the world – with the aid of rust; … a Martian that could be Jesus; an author, plucked from the grave to write a novel thwarted by death and Melissa Toad, the mysterious witch of New York…

This latest collection from Ray Bradbury takes you everywhere from a priest’s confessional box to the surface of Mars – here is an anthology that puts an end to all the loose talk about truth being stranger than fiction.

Murderers, ravishers, traitors and rogues of every description. The great chronicles of crime and the bloodiest deeds in criminal history.

Through the pages of this remarkable work we follow the careers of the great criminals of Britain’s most licentious era. We walk beside them through the vice dens of the eighteenth century’s underworld, wait with them in the ditches of the country roads to pounce on unsuspecting travellers, and stand before them as they breathe their last on the scaffolds of Tyburn and Execution Dock. Here are the stories of the infamous whose names have lived down the years: Jonathan Wild, Captain Kidd, Dick Turpin, Sawney Beane, Jack Ketch, John Sheppard, and a host of other murderers, pirates, cut-throats and traitors presented in a vivid, fascinating volume. But be warned it is not for the squeamish.

A World Tour Of The Weird And Supernatural

From the most remote corners of the world Kurt Singer has unearthed ghost stories and tales of the occult that have become uneasy legends in the countries where they occurred. From Egypt, for instance, comes the story, The Curse of King Tut, of the quite inexplicable events that followed the-breaking open of the tomb of King Tutankh-Amen, while Dead Men Working In The Cane Fields will baffle and perplex the most rational reader.

As Kurt Singer says in his preface, you may not believe in the supernatural. If you don’t then read these authenticated accounts of psychic phenomena and label them delusions, tricks, products of dreams. If, on the other hand, you are among the many who have experienced inexplicable events these stories will provide many additional discomforting quest­ion marks.

” …. only notable for the historical significance of of being the first ever cover with a candle melting on a human skull” according to Justin in Paperback Fanatic #12 and, Seabrook’s possibly dubious but bloody creepy authentic zombie encounter apart, i’m willing to bet this is dreary in a way only supernatural non-fiction can be.

A CITY TORN APART BY MADNESS, FEAR, SAVAGERY AND DISILLUSION …

300 years after the Black Death, London is once again an isolated, panic-stricken city of the dying and the dead    …. in the grip of a fearsome plague that has killed 10,000 people by the third week of August.

The boffins are baffled. The PM returns from his grouse moors …

Theatres and cinemas close; the football pools continue by ballot .. .

Afraid of infection, men stop making love to their wives. Out-of-work prostitutes turn to collecting corpses …

BUT MOST EXTRAORDINARY OF ALL IS WHAT HAPPENS TO JOE AND POLLY, AN ORDINARY HAPPILY MARRIED COUPLE, DURING THAT APOCALYPTIC SUMMER OF CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND ROTTING FLESH

THE BRINK OF FEAR …
A cry escaped him; then throwing himself back, as if he had been struck by lightning, he slipped along the chain, which instinct made him hang on to, and rolled down, down . . ..
CARPATHIAN CASTLE…
deep in the impenetrable depths of the Transylvanian forest stood its massive creeper covered walls — a challenge to the world of the alien mortals . . . .
