Robert Weinberg (ed..) - Far Below & Other Horrors (Fax, 1974)
Cover: Lee Brown Coye
Introduction - Robert Weinberg
Robert Barbour Johnson - Far Below (WT, June-July 1939)
Julius Long - The Execution Of Lucarno (WT, Apr. 1937)
G. G. Pendarves - Thing Of Darkness (WT, Aug. 1937)
Mary E. Counselman - The Accursed Isle (WT, Nov. 1933)
Merle Prout - Masquerade (WT, Feb. 1937)
Mindret Lord - Naked Lady (WT, Sept. 1934)
Robert E. Howard - Out Of The Deep
Earl Peirce, jnr - Doom Of The House Of Duryea (WT, Oct. 1936)
Seabury Quinn - The Chapel Of Mystic Horror (WT, Dec. 1928)
J. Wesley Rosenquest - Return To Death (WT, Jan. 1936)
Robert Nelson - Under The Tomb Verse
Wonderfully entertaining selection, nine of the stories having originated in Weird Tales: The title story features a tribe of ghastly horrors who lurk beneath the city and bear a striking physical resemblence to the sitter for HPL's Pickman's Model. In Rosenquest' Return To Death a scientist, feared by superstitious Transylvanian villagers, suffers an attack of catalepsy. He's on the verge of being buried alive when he sits up in his coffin. Fortunately, the mountain folk know a vampire when they see one. Quinn's The Chapel Of Mystic Horror is disappointingly sensible until the Knights Templar are revived and charge down the main street to have a punch up with the police. De Grandin succeeds in vanquishing them. The Accursed Isle, which also showed up in the Not At Night series, sees the survivors of a shipwreck possessed in turn by some kind of murderous demon. More vampire fun and games in Doom Of The House Of Duryea; Father and son are reunited after twenty years following the death of Aunt Cecilia who insisted on their being kept apart when the father was accused of draining the blood of two of his children, a family taint going back five generations. Dad demands of his boy that he ties him to the bed to prevent him going walkabout in his sleep. Darkness falls ...
