~ tracking down this book ~
The book opens with a short introductory essay purportedly by Alfred Hitchcock and each story is introduced in a short eerie blurb also supposedly by Hitchcock. And so we feel as if the great man himself is leading us through this collection of stories he has perhaps picked especially for us. It is quite a varied collection with some masters of the short story mixed with some unknowns. A couple of real gems are mixed in here with the OK and a couple of duds, but overall a decent enough satisfying collection of eerie tales of murder, mayhem and perhaps something not quite of this world. ***--Nicola Mansfield, Goodreads member***
