    5.0 out of 5 stars Four but still number one in my book!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2015

    Although the best story in this anthology was "The Elephant Man" (ironically based on real life), there were other runners up such as "Sardonicus" "Slime" "Dulcie" and "The Ohio Love Sculpture"(in which a collecor of erotica gets more than he bargained for!)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Some great tales but a few duds as well.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2009

    This review refers to Volume 4 ONLY. It also appears against Volumes 6, 10, 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25 as well for some odd reason due to a glitch on Amazon's computer that cannot recognise they are completely different items.
    The stories gathered here are a pretty mixed bag with a few stand-out tales.
    Various Temptations (William Sansom) - a lonely woman befriends a possible killer.
    The Pale Boy (M. S. Waddell) - an orphan with oddly sharp teeth and an ending you will see coming a mile off.
    The Emissary (Ray Bradbury ) - a dog brings one friend too many to see his young master who is ill in bed.
    Lucy Comes To Stay (Robert Bloch) - a descent into schizophrenia with an imaginary friend.
    Guy Fawkes Night (Richard Davis) - the ending is telegraphed but is suitably macabre.
    The Two Old Women (Vivian Meik) - apparently a sequel to another story involving African witchcraft, the worst tale of this volume.
    Moonlight Sonata (Alexander Woollcott) - a very short but effective ghost story.
    The Little Girl Eater (Septimus Dale) - my favourite, wicked black humour
    as a trapped man has just one hope of survival.
    Harry (Rosemary Timperley) - ghost or imaginary friend? Either way it is a decent enough tale.
    Sardonicus (Ray Russell) - Russell himself wrote the screenplay for the 1961 movie of the same name as a man's disfigurement drives him mad.
    Ringing the Changes (Robert Aickman) - a couple spend the wrong night of the year at a quiet seaside town.
    Dulcie (Hugh Reid) - a serial killer is loose in war-time London
    The Importance of Remaining Ernest (M. S. Waddell) - a criminal's master plan to feign insanity starts to go awry.
    Slime (Joseph Payne Brennan) - an undersea earthquake brings a gelatinous blob from the depths of the sea to the swamps.
    The Ohio Love Sculpture (Adobe James) - 3 collectors vie for a strange work of erotic art, another pretty weak tale.
    The Horsehair Trunk (Davis Grubb) - an out of body experience ends in tragedy and even worse it has a really ludicrous ending.
    The Attic Express (Alex Hamilton) - a father tries to get his son to show interest in his train set, this tale has a few original twists.
    The Haunted Telephone (Elliott O'Donnell) - a doctor visits a woman he suspects has murdered her husband.
    It is completed by "The Elephant Man" a really moving account of the life of John Merrick by Sir Frederick Treves.

    The best of this collection is "The Little Girl Eater" as it has a superb and totally unexpected twist at the end which should offend every right minded person who reads it.
    The best of the others are "The Emissary", "Harry" and "The Haunted Telephone".
    These tales are well overdue a reprint.
