Three occult tales based on stories by Ellis St. Joseph, Oscar Wilde, and László Vadnay!
When a jittery businessman complains of a disturbing dream, a friend relates three stories to help calm his nerves. In the first, a homely dressmaker wears a mask of beauty to attract a man on Mardi Gras night; a fortune teller predicts an eminent lawyer will commit a murder; and a high-wire artist, haunted by a nightmare in which he suffers a fall, romances a woman who resembles the one he had seen in his dream.

Dead Of Night (1945) – Imprint Collection #396
This spooky anthology connects five original stories by H. G. Wells, John Baines, E. F. Benson and Angus MacPhail, framed as nightmares from guests at an English countryside manor.
Named by Martin Scorsese as the fifth scariest horror film of all time, and ranking at #35 on Time Out’s 100 Best Horror Films, Dead Of Night will have you on the edge of your seat.
“There’d been anthology movies before Dead Of Night, and even a couple of silent horror anthologies. But Dead Of Night brought the format to the mainstream. It was a massive hit. And it did so by lulling its audience in a series of increasingly scary vignettes. … Dead Of Night still packs a wallop and sends the shivers right up your back, even almost three-quarters of a century later.” – Nerdist

Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
