“This volume gathers tales, written over a period of more than thirty years, that have not yet been included in any of Campbell’s dozen or more short story collections. Among them are such dark jewels of the supernatural as ‘The Reshaping of Rossiter,’ an early version of the celebrated tale ‘The Scar’; ‘Broadcast,’ which invests terror in a microphone; ‘Writer’s Curse,’ in which horror writing itself is made a subject of terror; ‘Murders,’ a bizarre mix of horror and science fiction; ‘Snakes and Ladders,’ a powerfully cosmic vignette that served as an early version of ‘Playing the Game?’” #40066
