A fine Halloween discussion. Ellen, are you aware of the old CBC radio series Nightfall and their version of "They Bite?"

Is the Campbell you're talking about from Dark Companions?

"Hands" by Ramsey Campbell
"A Certain Slant of Light" by Raylyn Moore
"Wood" by Robert Aickman
"The Events at Poroth Farm" by T.E.D. Klein
"Night-Side" by Joyce Carol Oates
