Gruesome Cargoes is a celebration of Christine Campbell Thomson, Charles Birkin and John Gawsworth's great 'Not At Night', 'Creeps' and 'Thrills' horror anthologies of the 'twenties and 'thirties.
Vintage Brit Horror Anthologies: "Not At Night", "Creeps", "Thrills" & Co.
Not At Night: 1925-1936 (1 sub-board) Christine Campbell Thomson's Not At Night Anthologies. 170 tales of mad scientists, evil surgeons, unlikey brain transplants, tropical horrors, circus freaks, vampires, werewolves, man-eating plants, enormous spiders, the re-animated dead & Co.
Creeps: 1932-1936 (2 sub-boards) Charles Lloyd/ Birkin's Creeps series. 158 stories, similar obsessions to the above but with added unhealthy cannibalism and leprosy fixations.
John Gawsworth's "Thrills" The 'super-dreadnought' anthologies edited by John Gawsworth. These combined detective and adventure stories with the horrors, and a great number of these concerned murder and suicide, but every once in a while you'd get an intervention from the 'supernatural'.
Weird Tales & The Horror Pulps (3 sub-boards) Want more of the same? Weird Tales and the horror pulps of the 'twenties and thirties are the place to look, but they cost a fortune. Fortunately, astute anthologists have revived several stories for our hideous pleasure - and then there were Magazine Of Horror and Startling Mystery Stories ....
Various pre-WWII horror anthologies (4 sub-boards) The Competition: All very literary and highbrow, but fun on their own terms. The "Century Books", "The Supernatural Omnibus", "Thrills", "The Ghost Book"etc.
Charles Birkin's collections Charles Birkin's own short story collections: My Name Is Death, Devil Spawn, So Pale, So Cold, So Fair, The Smell Of Evil ... etc.
