A prolific and incredibly gifted writer, Beaumont was just hitting his stride when stricken with what was eventually diagnosed as Alzheimer’s Disease. When he succumbed to the disease in 1967 he was only 38 years old.

This definitive collection, with introductions by such genre luminaries as Bradbury, Dennis Etchison, Harlan Ellison, Robert Bloch, Roger Corman, William F. Nolan, George Clayton Johnson, Richard Matheson and others, has been long overdue and will hopefully introduce a whole new generation of readers to the work of an extraordinary fantasist The stories gathered run the gamut from the established classics (the horrific repercussions of child abuse in "Miss Gentilbelle", the identity of "The Howling Man" imprisoned in a remote German monastery, the jazz riffs that rise off the page of "The Black Country", etc.), a sample chapter of The Intruder (a landmark novel
