Thanks for the link to this as well as mentioning the "Japanese and Chinese Ghost Stories." I enjoy reading stories from the Orient so long as they are translated well.Prashant C.

Thanks again for correcting me on Alfred Noyes' spelling, which I have done accordingly, as well as for including these anthos at Yahoo Groups and library lists...that was very thoughtful of you. As you can see, I'm gathering these e-collections faster than I can read them. The good thing is you don't have to read them from cover to cover like a novel.Prashant C.

I too am familiar with only half the authors and am getting acquainted with the rest. I'm still debating which Block novel to read given that I'm reading three books currently. I might take you up on "A Walk Among the Tombstones" though.Prashant C.
