Notes

  • Cover image from a later impression?
  • Contents from The Supernatural Index.
  • Two of the non-genre stories in the anthology, "The Ebony Box" by Mrs. Henry Wood (page 305) and "My Adventure at Chiselhurst" by A. J. Alan (page 363), have been omitted from the contents here. Undoubtedly the volume contains more non-genre stories beside the ones that have been identified.
