Infos

Acclaimed by Stephen King as "e;a master of the unashamed horror tale,"e; Joseph Payne Brennan wrote hundreds of tales of terror, suspense, and fantasy. Collectors and fans will delight in this inexpensive reissue of Brennan's hard-to-find classic, Nine Horrors and a Dream. This collection, originally published by Arkham House in 1958, features stories published by Weird Tales and other pulp magazines of the 1950s — including the much-anthologized "e;Slime,"e; which inspired the ever-popular thriller The Blob. Less familiar but equally gripping tales include "e;Levitation,"e; in which a carnival-goer has an unfortunate encounter with a hypnotist; "e;The Calamander Chest,"e; the story of a low-priced antique that turns out to be no bargain; "e;Death in Peru,"e; involving a lethal curse; the darkly humorous "e;On the Elevator"e;; and "e;The Green Parrot,"e; which recounts a Good Samaritan's bad timing. Other selections include "e;Canavan's Back Yard,"e; featuring a property with a gruesome history; "e;I'm Murdering Mr. Massington,"e; which tells of a bizarre grasp at immortality; "e;The Hunt,"e; a playfully creepy yarn about an obsessive chase; and "e;The Mail for Juniper Hill,"e; in which a tipsy but determined postman refuses to let anything — even death — keep him from his appointed rounds.
