Interesting to see that the two volumes of New Writings in Horror & the Supernatural edited by David A. Sutton in the early 1970s are being reprinted in an omnibus volume. I don't understand why this is being described as "an anthology edited by Stephen Jones" but there you have it.
The book contains two of my earliest horror stories, "The Farmhouse" and "A Bottle of Spirits". Not two of my best by any means but it's still nice to see them get a fresh airing.
Alas, I was never approached to submit something for consideration in the "third" volume edited by Stephen Jones. Such is life.
"The Farmhouse" went on to be my first story published in the United States when it was reprinted in Stuart David Schiff's Whispers magazine and then in the hardcover anthology First World Fantasy Awards edited by Gahan Wilson for Doubleday.
Actually
this is not the first time the two volumes of New Writings in Horror
& the Supernatural have been reprinted. David Sutton did this in
2013, retitled Horror! Under the Tombstone, published by Shadow Publishing.
