Description: THE EARLY FEARS is a vintage collection of thirty-nine stories by the acknowledged grand master of horror, Robert Bloch. During a career that has spanned more than half a century, Mr. Bloch began writing short supernatural tales for pulp magazines such as WEIRD TALES in the Thirties, expanded to crime & science fiction stories in the Fifties, & eventually to such acclaimed novels of psychological terror as PSYCHO & THE NIGHT OF THE RIPPER. Besides short fiction & novels, he has written many scripts for film & television & has just completed his autobiography. THE EARLY FEARS is a cross-section of Bloch's short fiction, ranging from his early "Lovecraftian" period for the pulps through the wry & macabre tales he wrote during the Fifties to some of his most recently published short fiction. It includes such well-known stories as "The Cheaters," "Enoch," "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper," the Hugo-award winning "That Hell-bound Train," Plus three stories never before collected, & an original introduction by the author. None of the stories in this omnibus collection were included in the recent three-volume "complete" collection of Bloch's short stories. May be ordered direct from Publisher or from Dreamhaven Books, or Baker & Taylor.
