The Fantasy Fan, Volume 2, Number 4, December 1934

by Charles D. Hornig

For the past few years the Philip Allan & Co., Ltd., of London, has been publishing a collection of weird tale books under the title, The Creeps Series, a Collection of Uneasy Tales. Included in the series so far are: "Powers of Darkness," "Panics," "Monsters," "Nightmares," "Mysteries of Asia," (by Achmed Abdullah), "Quakes," "Horrors," "Terrors," "Devil's Drums," "Veils of Fear," "The Strange Papers of Dr. Blayre," and now in preparation, "Tales of the Grotesque." The books contain about 12 stories, each of a distinctly weird nature by such authors as Tod Robbins, Elliott O'Donnell, H. R. Wakefield, Douglas Newton, and others. Every year, too, appears a "Not at Night" series, edited by Christine Campbell Thomson, containing a collection of the best weird stories published during the year, the majority being from Weird Tales.
