Murgunstrumm and Others

World Fantasy Award winner 1978.

Long before he became the author of polished romances for the slick magazines, of best-seller novels and firsthand-researched travel books, Hugh B. Cave wrote some of the most grisly and chilling horror stories every to appear in the pulps. Crawling forth from the Depression years – from the haunted pages of Strange Tales, Weird Tales, Ghost Stories, Spicy Mystery Stories, Black Book Detective, and elsewhere – Wildside presents an omnibus of vintage nightmares, twenty-six of the best horror tales of Hugh B. Cave... gruesomely illustrated with over thirty-five drawings by Lee Brown Coye.
