[Calenture]

Just looking through this list leaves me with an almost intoxicated feeling; the urge to abandon what I’m doing and just close the curtains, lock the door and curl up in bed with several dog-eared anthologies is almost overpowering. Frank Belknap Long’s The Sea Thing evokes powerful memories, of first learning that horror can be fun!

I’m surprised to see Dion Fortune’s name here. Certainly that member of The Golden Dawn wrote good fantasies – I recommend her novel The Sea Priestess - but finding her here is a bit like finding your maiden aunt at an orgy!

Conan is present, another surprise. Rogues In the House is definitely one of Howard's better stories. And I think Bran Mak Morn in Worms of the Earth? I’ve clearly a lot to learn… I'd thought of Not at Night as being so intrinsically ‘British’. Sometimes it's pleasant to be wrong.

I’ve already been ribbed mercilessly elsewhere over my weakness for Bassett Morgan’s Laocoon (Dem’, you say there are even more of his stories about human brain-implants for sea-serpents? Where can I find them? Please, please?)

And speaking of maiden aunts at orgies… Mary Elizabeth Counselman. No, you can’t just dismiss Not at Night as just one more cult pulp rag, can you?

Okay, it’s dark, it’s raining, and I’m off to bed.

I warned you.

This is the sum total of my knowledge on the Goddess(!)-like genius known to mortals as 'Bassett Morgan'. Her other brain transplanters (essentially they're pretty much the same story but who cares?) are Island Of Doom and Devils Of Po Sung and they are a rare treat even for the Not At Nights.

Despite their reputation, the Not At Night's are filled with the work of predominantly American authors. I think the Creeps series is as quintessentially British as any anthology is likely to be. Everybody in the Creeps Omnibus is a Brit and I'm pretty certain most of the first/ only- time- in- print contributors were too.

Enjoy your reading tonight, Calenture!
