All great stories that have the touch of immortality about them.Hard to better any of them as they are classic in nature.As writer in that area myself I was lucky to encounter many of them in the pages of the still wonderful series Pan Book of Horror when still a teenager.Worth hunting out as they now have vintage covers that delight also.
