Such Stuff As Screams Are Made Of - Robert Bloch, Gahan Wilson Anthology of 21 short stories, originally published between 1948 and 1977, by the classic horror author.

Includes: The Tunnel of Love; The Unspeakable Betrothal; The Girl from Mars; The Head Hunter; The Weird Tailor; Lucy Comes to Stay; The Pin; The Masterpiece; Talent; The Final Performance; Life in Our Time; Underground; A Case of the Stubborns; The Head; What You See is What You Get; Nina; I Do Not Love Thee, Dr. Fell; Luck is No Lady; The Cure; The Screaming People; The Big Kick.

The stories range from slasher-type horror to horrific sci-fi, but the majority fall into the realm of supernatural fantasy mixed with psychological suspense. Some may feel a little bit old-fashioned, but they're consistently good - as one might expect from this well-respected writer.
