GHOSTS AND THINGS, edited by Hal Cantor (Berkley, 1962); Harold Q. Masur, editor: ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS: STORIES TO BE READ WITH THE DOOR LOCKED (Random House, 1975)

1st printing, 1962; Berkley #F666 (coincidence?). 

Contents:

"The Romance of Certain Old Clothes" by Henry James;

"Caterpillars" by E. F. Benson;

"Markheim" by R. L. Stevenson;

"The Ghost Ship" by Richard Middleton;

"The Novel of the White Powder" by Arthur Machen;

"Night Doings at 'Deadman's: A Story That Is Untrue" by Ambrose Bierce;

"Running Wolf" by Algernon Blackwood;

"The Music on the Hill" by Saki;

"Phantas" by Oliver Onions;

"The House" by Andre Maurois;

"The Lovely House" by Shirley Jackson

This, with its Richard Powers cover painting (the greenish version of the presentation was less common than the more violet, though not rare; mine is a copy of the violet), was the first anthology of horror fiction aimed at adults (and adventurous young readers) I purchased, when I was eight, and was thus introduced to Henry James, Algernon Blackwood, Richard Middleton, Oliver Onions, Andre Maurois, and Shirley Jackson...it was Bierce and Saki and probably Benson (though this might've been my introduction to his work, as well) that sold me on it, and I was not disappointed...I thought James took his time in telling his story, but that was fine, and "Running Wolf" among the stories by writers new to me really actually raised the hairs on the back of my neck, particularly in the middle passage of the story (something I was unused to at the time, since most horror fiction I'd read to that point built blatantly or slyly toward a frisson at the end), and in an anticipation of my current state of incipient Alzheimer's I've usually managed to forget Blackwood's title when trying to recall this story, and assumed incorrectly that I was thinking of "The Willows"...Cantor, a staff editor at Berkley at time of publication, is barely credited with this selection, in small type on the copyrights page, and its notable that he did select not quite the most obvious chestnuts from the writers in question, for the most part, but instead the next or one of the several next stories that one might read or certainly be amenable to reading after "The Lottery" or "Gabriel-Ernest" (or "The Interlopers" among so many) or "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot" (among so many) or "The Wendigo" (among...) or "The Beckoning Fair One" or "The Turn of the Screw"...which is probably why this modest, well-turned book sold so steadily that Berkley kept it in print for at least fifteen years and I'm not sure how many reprintings. It was hard to miss, for a while, and I'm eminently glad I didn't miss it. 

[As I noted in May 2008, but went little farther:]

This certainly wasn't the first "Hitchcock" anthology that I read, but it is the first that I owned a personal copy of, a Doubleday Book Club edition. How could any young reader (I was 11 at the time) manage to not have their doors blown off by a selection such as this:

"Hijack" by Robert L. Fish

"Lincoln's Doctor's Son's Dog" by Warner Law
"Coyote Street" by Gary Brandner

"The Sound of Murder" by William P. McGivern
"The Income Tax Mystery" by Michael Gilbert
"Watch for It" by Joseph N. (aka Joe) Gores
"The Affair of the Twisted Scarf" by Rex Stout

The eclecticism which Robert Arthur particularly had brought to his volumes of the "Hitchcock" anthologies he edited, both in the young readers' line for Viking and the adult-oriented series for Random House (which were paperbacked by Dell, who split the RH compliations into two volumes for their purposes, while Dell also published the "best-of" volumes from Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in the same years, inspiring much confusion which others and I have addressed repeatedly on this blog and many other places) was ably continued by Masur, after Arthur's death...and Masur even added a few recurring contributors, such as gallows humorist John Keefauver and "Adobe James" with his slightly perfervid men's-magazine tales, to the band of Arthur's recurring favorites (Gerald Kersh, Rex Stout, and other worthies). This volume, I see in retrospect, is slimmer on women's contributions than at least some of Arthur's, but it does include at least three stories which genuinely stuck with me and really shook me up at the time, in the Sturgeon (not the first time I'd read his brilliant early work, but the first time I'd encountered "Shottle Bop," which goes from cocksure whimsy to jarring, touching sobriety masterfully), Joe Gores's "Watch for It" and Richard Matheson's "The Distributor" (I'm not sure I've read a better Matheson), and a number of the others came close to making such a strong impression...the closest to a bad story was Alan Dean Foster's pleasantly slick contribution, or the similar "James"--and the Jacobson, published in the last issue of the first Weird Tales revival, is a little too recursively about the predicament that magazine itself faced ...and this volume introduced me to a number of its contributors, since it was at latest the second of the AHP:  adult volumes I read, at time of purchase; I'd picked up the likes of Alfred Hitchcock's Haunted Houseful (one of Arthur's double-handful of YA anthologies) and at least one other Presents: volume previously at the Enfield Central Library, that trove of my youth.

Along with Henry Mazzeo's Hauntings, and the extent to which Les Daniels's Living in Fear was an anthology (the fiction there being almost illustrative examples to the critical/historical survey of horror in art), these were probably the most influential anthologies aimed at adults that I encountered in my early reading.

The Hurricane

Yvette Banek:  The Hurricane (1937) 


10 Obscure Horror and Suspense Series on US Television (though frequently imported):

Strange Paradise A Canadian voodoo soap, clearly meant to gather up some of the Dark Shadows audience both up there and down here (where it was syndicated as a new series, not picked up by a network), and particularly spottily available in the States. Originally ran weekdaily from 1969 to 1970, and the early episodes take place on an unnamed Caribbean island, the latter episodes in Canada, after the loss of the protagonist's plantation and return to the family estate. Repeats of the series were being syndicated to US stations in the 1990s, and reran on Canadian cable in the '90s as well. 

The Evil Touch An Australian series syndicated in the US, and using a lot of British and Yank talent as it was meant for export. Rather goofy, in the episodes I remember, but interesting enough to watch it fairly regularly for its one season, 1973-74, when it was scheduled into a 7:30pm slot in the Hartford, CT. market, just before the network primetime programming began. Anthony Quayle was an appropriately sepuchral onscreen host for the anthology.

Darkroom An occasionally quite good ABC anthology series they barely aired in 1981-1982, with James Coburn as appropriately jocular onscreen host. Some segments were pulled for "intensity" (you didn't, in those years, want your network television programming to be actually good if you could help it), it still managed decent adaptations and original scripts from Robert Bloch (of his "Catnip"), Levinson and Link, and Alan Brennert. 

The Hidden Room A Canadian anthology series imported and possibly co-produced by the US cable channel Lifetime beginning in 1991, presenting horror and suspense drama featuring women protagonists (though apparently by the end of the series that was less insisted-upon). Mimi Kuzyk was the onscreen introducer of the stories, at least initially, and among the better episodes was one adapting a short story by Lisa Tuttle.


Scene of the Crime Commissioned from Stephen J. Cannell Productions as part of the "wheel" of "Crimetime after Primetime" dramatic series CBS ran shortly before David Letterman relocated to CBS latenight, this 1991-92 anthology series with a regular "ensemble" cast (which might've run longer in Canada, where it was filmed) was notable for being more sexually suggestive and generally "rough" and sleazy than the other late-night series, and perhaps as a result was seen less often and for a shorter run than most (some of the other series that came out of that project, such as Silk Stalkings and Forever Knight, had sustained runs on cable or in first-run syndication in the US after CBS cancelled the set, and even the aggressively stupid Night Heat managed to survive the purge, briefly, but Scene of the Crime has since been unseen Stateside...the extraordinarily generic title probably hasn't helped anyone remember this one).

She-Wolf of London, later Love and Curses, Lee Goldberg's 1990-91 series (as show-runner), is apparently rather fondly remembered by those few (including Jerry House) who were able to catch it initially (Goldberg describes its syndication pattern as clearing on two stations, one each in Los Angeles and NYC, though it apparently gained some viewers from repeats on the "Sci-Fi" Channel). Cited also as notable for being one of the first syndicated series aimed at US broadcast clearance featuring brief nudity, which might've limited the appeal to stations and was probably cut out for the Skiffy Chan run.

Brimstone (1998-99) was one of the horror/fantasy/crime drama borderline jumpers that followed on the success of The X-Files, and one of the best of that lot (which also included the television revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and such more-direct imitations as PSI Factor and Poltergeist: The Legacy). A dead cop, damned for murdering his wife's rapist, is offered a deal by the devil, when a number of other very unsavory bad souls manage to break out of Hell and take on human form on Earth again...gather them all back up again, and you get your life back. Not altogether un-goofy, but entertaining, and rather well-acted. Among later pleasant series with similar plotlines were Reaper (UPN), Dead Like Me (Showtime), arguably the Canadian series (now imported by RetroTV) The Collector, and the next entry on this list. 

G vs. E (later Good vs. Evil), which ran for a season (1999-2000) on the USA cable channel, was a rather more lighthearted variation on the above, only with a reporter killed by one of those who had made a deal with the devil, which led to an offer to the dead reporter to be revived to join the Corps, basically the quasi-police force on Heaven's side of the struggle...their adversaries being "Faustians" (seeking a deal with Satan) and the "Morlocks" (damned souls who still walk the Earth). 

Dark Realm The only series on this list where I'm certain I haven't seen any of the episodes, this syndicated anthology ran in the 2000-01 season and seems to be one of the most widely-reviled of such anthologies, with Eric Roberts getting bad marks even as an apparently uninterested host. Well, if the networks could cough up the likes of Ghost Story/Circle of Fear in the early '70s...and the second, abysmal Twilight Zone revival in the 2000s, as well...

Someone's attempt at a promo still. Looks more like Vexing Itself

Fear Itself NBC's shortlived 2008 sort-of pendant series to HBO's Masters of Horror (and thus also a cousin to Masters of Science Fiction, given an even shorter run by ABC), this rather uneven  but often rather weak anthology series did manage one or two engaging episodes (including "Eater," co-written by Cemetery Dance editor/publisher Richard Chizmar and Jonathon Schaech), but too often was a triumph of cinematography over script...something which also plagued the other series, even when the episodes were drawn on good to brilliant fiction.

Jazz A/V: two hours plus of jazz, JAZZ CASUAL and more

There was a sporadic presence of jazz on television as I grew to love the music...in the 1970s one might catch a performance on The Tonight Show (or, more infrequently, on Saturday Night Live) and there was (starting in 1983, though somehow I remember it being earlier), somewhat intermittently it seemed, Oscar Brown, Jr.'s series From Jumpstreet, or the very occasional appearance of jazz musicians on PBS's other music series such as Soundstage or Austin City Limits. The small but persistent efflorescence of jazz programming from the 1960s was gone, and no one seemed too interested in repackaging it or even simply repeating it...the innovations of the latter 1980s, such as Sunday Night/Night Music, hadn't arrived yet. When Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was one of the more reliable sources of jazz music on television, you knew things had reached a pretty pass. So, here, after the complete presentation of a notable third stream work I'd missed over the years, are two episodes of Jazz Casual, jazz critic and Rolling Stone co-founder Ralph Gleason's NET (proto-PBS) series, bookended by some European presentations of comparable heroes of mine.
