- At least 20 stories (The first 20 story titles are known from views of the Contents list, page 5, which probably continues on page 6.)
- The first 14 match title and sequence with the entire 14-story collection In the Dark: Tales of Terror (Equation, 1988; ISBN 1-85336-080-5), ed. Hugh Lamb.
- Page-counts --espy for large print ed.-- imply that different collections share one title. Do not merge without list of contents.
Contents probably incomplete as of 2017-02-25:
-- 20 transcribed from p5, Contents, via Amazon "Look Inside!" that omits p6
-- last-listed "The Detective" probably published 1920 as 8-page item
Publ date and cover image from Amazon.com 2017-02-24 with "Look Inside!" including:
Copyright page shows
-- "For my husband Anthony John Ranson with love from your wife, the publisher" (?)
-- ISBN-13 only (later printing?)
-- "First published 2006 ..."
Contents, p[5], lists Introduction and 20 stories (continues to missing p6 unless last-listed "The Detective" p225 is much the longest)
Introduction evidently spans p7-13
Cover artist on back cover of Archive.org copy; this is apparently the first edition, and Amazon's cover is from a later printing.
