Ray Bradbury is quoted on the back cover: "I can't remember a book quite like it in my long history of reading. It is absolutely wonderful. Enchanting, imaginitive, different, and to quote Shakespeare incorrectly, `Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and again wonderful, wonderful and once more wonderful!'"

Due to what the publisher calls an unfortunate error, the last two lines of Robert Bloch's short story Pranks were omitted from page 77 of Chills and Thrills. The publishers reprinted the final paragraph in full on their website at http://www.welcomebooks.com/chillsandthrills/error.html but it is not available anymore
