by Basil- Ed. Davenport ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 17, 1965
As editor Davenport says in his introduction, ""There's not a single object in the world that cannot be used to kill a man,"" and Henry Slesar will Show you how even wishing will make it so. More conventional means to dead ends, stabbing, strangling, poisoning, burning, starving, etc. are all demonstrated by veteran raconteurs Poe, Forester, Phyllis Bottome, Anthony Berkeley, John Collier and others. And who can fault a collection which includes both Roald Dahl's Lamb to the Slaughter and Stanley Ellin's The Question..... De rigueur mortis.
