There's a "Complete Boucher" ?!?!?!?

and to stay on topic:

"The October Game" by Ray Bradbury
"The Man in the Underpass" by Ramsey Campbell
"The Specialist's Hat" by Kelly Link

(all I can think of at the moment.)

It's actually called The Compleat (sic) Boucher and it should still be available...

Yep, sorry for the typo. I realised it was named after "The Compleat Werewolf" (one of my favourite short story collections.)

I was finally able to track down the Black Box edition of his mystery novels to complete my collection (of the Black Box books, not of Boucher.)
