Portland, OR: Collectors Press, 2000. 256 pp, folio (13/14" H). Profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "As long as there have been storytellers, audiences have sought stories that make their flesh creep and their blood curdle - stories that slither into the darkest corners of our psyches. These are the tales that have been read furtively under covers or retold in whispers by the light of campfires.

(This book) begins with English author… Read More
