Description: The Playboy Book of Horror and the Supernatural (1968 Paperback Edition)Includes the rare Charles Willeford story, The Machine in Ward Eleven. This treasury of a book holds 28 of the best horror and supernatural stories penned in the past dozen years. Written by modern writers for modern readers, many are free of the quaint cobwebs and monsters of long ago, relying wisely on psychological cobwebs and implied monsters; yet in others, blood flows copiously, hideous creatures stalk, demons and warlocks and the Devil incarnate do their damnedest. The most provocative practitioners in this time-honored field are represented here by their finest work: Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Charles Beaumont, John Collier, Fredric Brown, David Ely, Ray Russell, Richard Matheson and 14 other master spellbinders all share a common goal--to appealingly appall you, fill you with delightful dread, and echo Hamlet's warning that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."Wow! This is THE best collection of horror and supernatural stories I've read in my 65 years. While some of the stories are a little dated, as in my favorites, "Double Exposure" and "Hey! Look at Me!", they hold up remarkably well in today's world. And these were some of the best writers in the field at that time. Treat yourself to the best of the best. :)" - Carole Miles, Amazon ReviewerVintage Paperback / Playboy / 1968 / Very Good Condition
