The Pan Book of Horror Stories was a paperback series of short story anthologies first published in 1959.
Early editions were known for their lurid cover art and editor Herbert Van Thal’s selection of stories by new authors alongside classics of the genre. It was credited with introducing a new generation to the horror tradition in the 1960s.
The Second Pan Book Of Horror Stories, published in 1962, was considered to be one of the best. Anita Sullivan has selected five from this edition for her own fresh interpretation.
