After the stunning first three volumes and the complete Silver John stories in the upcoming fifth volume, this book represents the leftovers. By most standards they're great fun and only pale next to the other books. Still, a great collection made possible by the great folks at Night Shade. Also, the absence of the poor illustrations is only a plus.

Not Silver John, but great

Anything by Manly Wade Wellman is worth reading. This is no exception. He was so great at regional horror as well as traditional horror and even Lovecraftian horror. Please, if you love good horror, get all 5 of Wellman's books from Night Shade Books. They are all well bound, good looking books and they all have Wellman's wonderful prose.

The only real fault here is the lack of a connecting theme in the stories, some are Civil War tales, a few are Indian legends, and one even features Poe himself. All the tales are well written and interesting, which seems to be true of any Wellman stories I've read so far. "School for the Unspeakable" might be the best in this collection, along with "The Terrible Parchment" a neglected tribute to H.P. Lovecraft published just a few months after his death.
