Demon Lovers and Strange Seductions (1971) Anthology by M. L. Carter (ed. Jim3692)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 3.1Mb
Overview: A collection of weird fiction by some of the greats- Sheridan Le Fanu ("Ultor De Lacy", which was one of the strongest stories in the collection), Arthur Machen (an excerpt from "the great God Pan"), Algernon Blackwood ("the glamour of the snow", my other favorite in the collection), Robert Bloch, Theodore Sturgeon (a pretty stupid story about mermaids), and so on (oh, including a rad story by Winston Marks, who I wasn’t familiar with, called "the naked people"). But the back cover and the introduction by ML Carter are ridiculous and put it over the top- the back cover asks "Have you been had by…things?" and goes on to make sure you know what that means ("Have cold creatures of darkness had their way with your warm and mortal flesh?….yes, that’s what we mean. That time alone in the night…"). The intro has plenty of other gems. But the funny thing is, most of the stories are from late 19th/early 20th century, so there’s nothing racy at all…
