The Dollmaker and other simister stories
A re-issue of The Methuen/Magnet Book of Sinister Stories which has a range of excellent writers contributing some nicely eerie stories. Individually, good read-alouds, sometimes interesting introductions to the author's other work (Dennis Hamley's story is a precursor to his novel, Dangleboots) or to other stories of the kind (Gwen Grant's version offers an excuse to uncover the other Spring-Heeled Jack versions). Joan Aiken's story is wonderful, straight-faced lunacy.
