One of the most important horror collections of modern times, back in print at last! Karl Edward Wagner (1945-1994) has earned a reputation as one of the finest horror writers of the modern era, but his work has been out of print and nearly unobtainable for many years. His seminal volume In a Lonely Place collects eight of his best tales, including "In the Pines," a classic ghost story evocatively set in the Tennessee woods, "Beyond Any Measure," an original take on the vampire story, "River of Night's Dreaming," a surreal and nightmarish masterpiece inspired by The King in Yellow , and the author's most famous tale, "Sticks," a disturbing story thought by many to have been the basis for The Blair Witch Project . This new edition includes all the stories from the original 1983 edition, plus an additional rare tale and the author's afterword from the Scream/Press limited edition, and features a new introduction by Ramsey Campbell. "Wagner is always a fascinating writer ... his tales of ancient evils working on the present are brilliantly modern." -- Washington Post "He knows exactly what he's doing; he's scary, entertaining, and knowledgeable."- - Peter Straub "Wagner is a contemporary master."- - Philadelphia Inquirer
