Information about the 2012 edition:

Originally published in 1975, and long out of print, this classic horror anthology sees a first reprint in over forty years. This anthology features ten macabre short stories by such horror masters as Ramsey Campbell, Brian Lumley, Joseph Payne Brennan and David A. Riley.

"The Nightingale Floors" were part of a crumbling Chicago museum and only the brave or the foolish ventured there after dark. The building had a weird history – and no night watchman stayed there long...

Winnie was "The Prefect Lady" and Rupert loved every little bit of her. But when the neighbours saw her at close quarters, panic spread through Lavender Hill...

"Aunt Hester" had strange powers. Her ability to transfer herself into the body of her twin brother had a hideous ending – or was it a beginning?

Lamson was intrigued by "The Satyr’s Head". He bought the little relic from an old tramp. It brought him nightmares, disease and, worst of all, unnatural passion from a foul incubus..."
