The Dodd, Mead Gallery of Horror. Edited by Charles L. Grant. Read by James DeLotel. Time again for the bi weekly anthology. If nothing else in this collection listen to Death to the Easter Bunny. Talent by Theodore Sturgeon reminded me of It's a Good Life by Jerome Bixby which was published later that same year(1953) and later adapted by Rod Serling for The Twilight Zone. I like the end to Talent better. Nona by Stephen King had to be cut. A chilling collection of twenty horror stories gathered by a veteran horror anthologist.

By the way, while all the stories here are amazing, Bloch's The Rubber Room is brilliant. For the youngest member of the Lovecraftian Circle he sure covered a lot of ground and did it in high, and frequently creepy AF super-influential, style from Lovecraft to Psycho and beyond. That being said, again: all the tales here are fantastic.

Many thanks for this: I live in the UK and have all of Grant's anthologies - except this one! I have half of the stories scattered throughout various other anthologies, so therefore it has been a real pleasure to finally get to hear and experience the other ten stories which I don't have copies of! Once again, many thanks!

My first listen to a Hellblazer1138 Audio production and what a listen it's been. Fine narration of a great anthology w/many standouts. And the authors! A fine group including Theodore Sturgeon (but we know who he really is) whose Venus on the Half-Shell blew my young mind back in the day. Great post. Thank you HB1138 A!

Holy moly! Thank-you so much:
This contains the story Canavan's Back Yard!
I've been looking to find either a printed or audio version for years. but mis-remembered the title as Canavaughn's. this is a hauntingly weird story: highly recommended! Many thx for pisting.

Bit of a departure for you. I'll give it a shot. And, hey, THANKS! I'm now blind(ish) but as a lifelong voracious reader who can no longer read, you've made my life better. (P. S. please more quirky sci fi like Sheckley, Bob Shaw, Vonnegut, D F Galouye) Thanks again!

I know a couple of people like the character in the rubber room but they are bonkers about vaccines global warming and flat earth as well as the Zionist conspiracy.
reply

I don't quite understand why the Easter Bunny had to die. It didn't pose a threat to any of them. It seems needlessly cruel.
reply

Thank you for the horror of the seventies, the decade I grew up in. I really enjoy the stories and the memories they recall.
reply

Some really hard hitting stories here. The rubber room in particular is rather poignant.

Stephen king is literally dogshit apart from The Shining. 11/Whatever/69 gave me mental AIDS.

My mother had this book. I have not read it in thirty years. Thank you for posting!

At first, I didn't care-much at all for Janie, but, she grew on me. I kinda like her style.
