The 1st Pan Book of Horror Stories, originally published in 1959, will be re-issued in a 'paperback original format' in October 2010!
Yep, a major part of growing up in the '70s and now it's back from the dead!

Unreal - I donated one my 70s editions to a charity shop over the weekend
Good news.
THat's a great collection. I have a copy though.
Cool; I'd love to replace my lost copy.
Haven't been on here for a while. (Sorry - I do read all your posts by feed though!) The site's looking great!
Have you read "Diamond Age or, a Young Ladie's Illustrated Primer" by Neal Stephenson? I think you would enjoy it! Check out my review of it on my blog amandarosetew.blogspot.com
Back in my teen years, got caught reading this to the child I was babysitting.They were a bit shocked but too polite to complain. I am now reformed.
I still have my 1st Pan Book, but'll buy a copy of the re-issue in the hopes they start publishing the rest.
Looking good, eh? Thanks for stoping over, all.
Johnny Mains is over at Simon Marshall-Jones' blog today:

I read this when I was about 12. Over and over. Probably explains a few things...
