The Anthologist’s Folly Edited by Johnny Mains
In the grand tradition of such anthologists of the weird and macabre as Mike Ashley, Richard Dalby, Hugh Lamb and Michel Parry, award-winning author Johnny Mains has compiled this selection of sixteen tales for the haunting edification of a new generation of readers. Even though the compiler claims this anthology as being “a folly — created for no other reason than to entertain myself and those who come across it”, the reader is the real beneficiary. As well is reprising classic tales of horror by Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, Oswell Blakeston and A. J. Alan, Mains has unearthed previously hidden and neglected nuggets from a rich subterranean vein of scintillating terror. Also resurrected is the rarely-reprinted novella ‘The Hole of the Pit’ by Adrian Ross. In the end, this Anthology is no Folly for the reader — it is instead a cornucopia of eldritch enchantment.
