Book Description
This exquisite collection of four short stories is bound to both chill and delight you. In "Henry's Hand," you'll see that it's sometimes hard to know where the fog ends and fantasy begins. You'll meet Jake Cullin, a very nice fellow, but you most certainly won't want to stick around when the "Soul Catcher" drops in for a visit. Then there's the dinner invitation you'll want to consider, the one where one hostess tells the other to "Wake Me When It's Over." Last, but not least, you'll join Bill and his wife as they head off for a vacation they'll never forget -- or ever want to repeat -- the one in Asbury Park, where "Someone Lies Waiting."

Book Description
There’s a poltergeist in Joe Quinn’s house, and Davie is determined to discover its source in this lively, hopeful graphic storybook from David Almond and Dave McKean. Joe Quinn has been telling everyone about the poltergeist in his house, but no one believes him. No one, that is, except Davie. Davie’s felt the inexplicable presence in the Quinns’ house and seen random objects fly through the air. And there’s something else . . . a memory of Davie’s beloved sister and a feeling deep down that it might just be possible for ghosts to exist. Full of thoughts of hauntings and grief and God, Davie hovers on a precipice of uncertainty and possibility, a space that storyteller David Almond occupies comfortably and returns to again and again — here paired once more with the dynamic, dreamlike mixed-media art of Dave McKean.

Book Description
The Phantom Detective pulp lasted for 170 issues from February, 1933 through Fall, 1953. Richard Curtis Van Loan -- The Phantom Detective. The greatest sleuth of all time! A worthy successor to Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, Arsene Lupin and Philo Vance. Here you will read the exciting, sensational story of his single handed war against rampant banditry in America. His courageous "Lone Wolf" campaign to rid the nation of organized crime and big time racketeers. His identity known to only one person -- this masked enemy of crime is a product of the cataclysmic World War. Born to purple, wealthy beyond all avarice, the war made him realize the futility of his pampered life. Daily face to face with death on the flaming Eastern Front, peace time activities seemed too tame for him after his career as a "war bird" was over. Others, seeking re-adjustment, vainly took to other careers -- many to crime. Dick Van Loan consecrated himself to fighting the pernicious forces that sought to hold America in their grip. Equiped with a knowledge of criminology second to none on earth, a master of make-up, the actor's art, mimicry, ventriloquism and hypnotism -- he embarked on his perilous career. Sacrificing those things that the ordinary man may have for the asking -- the simple pleasures of home and hearth -- he prepared to gamble desperately against gangdom's-strangle hold on America. Yet -- great though his sacrifice -- he would have chosen no other path. For the Phantom was born from the ashes of romance. And now, the record of this intrepid ace of detectives, so full of thrills, mystery, and world shaking events, will come to you month by month in THE PHANTOM DETECTIVE -- the biggest magazine value on the newsstands today! This collection contains stories from: Thrilling Comics 53, 62, 65, 70 America's Best Comics 26
