📚 Picked up a copy of Creeps by Night, a 1931 anthology of spooky and macabre short stories, edited by Dashiell Hammett. My 1944 edition has 20 stories, plus an intro by Hammett, like the 1931 edition does; later reprints only include ten stories. So it was worth doing the research before dropping the hammer on biblio.com. I'm curious to check out his selection.

My edition is from World Publishing, who also released two "terror tale" anthologies by Boris Karloff, Tales of Terror from 1943, and And the Darkness Falls from 1946. They're both good, but I really enjoyed And the Darkness Falls; just a great selection. I hope the Hammett is a winner, too.
