An excellent early horror collection from Groff Conklin, *the* SF anthologist for many decades. It begins with Bradbury's un-Bradbury-like suspense story, The Screaming Woman, and ends with Sturgeon's Bradbury-like The Graveyard Reader, written especially for this collection. Both are fine stories. I'm surprised the Bradbury was never adapted in the original Alfred Hitchcock television series. Another highlight is Kuttner's The Graveyard Rats, his first story, that reads exactly like a EC Comics horror piece, except that it was written in 1936. At the other end of the spectrum is the short The Cart by Richard (High Wind in Jamaica) Hughes with a snap of a ending, the surprisingly strong (to me) Listen, Children, Listen by Wallace West, and typically fine stories by that sardonic trio Bierce, Collier and Dahl. The only loser is a forgotten and forgettable morality tale by Mary Elizabeth Counselman. Recommended. ( )
