TWELVE TALES OF SUSPENSE AND THE SUPERNATURAL

Sometimes glowering with horror and sometimes glimmering with magic, these stories, while lacking the classic touch of Collier or Bradbury, are energetically inventive. In ""Busby's Rat"", a legless man charms the rats who will keep a malevolent vigil with his killer; a third-grader's wish comes true -- his teacher is turned into a rabbit; in ""Wynken, Blynken and Nod"", three little boys(?) goblins(?) or midgets(?) terrorize two aging spinsters. Mostly small town settings, some period, contribute to the Grand Guignol.
