Anything--absolutely anything--in Playboy's Book of Horror and the Supernatural.

Particularly Ray Russell and Ken Purdy.

Oh yes yes!!! That's the book that when I read it as a child, helped mold my reading habits forever.

I reread the entire book recently in order to discuss it for The Hundred Best Horror Books volume 2 and was blown away by Bradbury's "Heavy Set." I also love Gahan Wilson's "The Sea was Wet as Wet can Be."
