The very best of Manly Wade Wellman, fully illustrated with over 30 ghoulish drawings by the legendary master of the macabre, Lee Brown Coye. Originally published by the legendary imprint Carcosa, WORSE THINGS WAITING gathers 28 stories and two poems, selected from over 100 stories-the cream of nearly a half-century of fiction taken from the pages of Weird Tales, Unknown, Strange Stories and many other Golden Age pulps. I found "Vigils" to be a better book.Available again for the first time in nearly 50 years, Shadowridge Press is proud to present Manly Wade Wellman’s WORSE THINGS WAITING, one of the cornerstone short story collections in the fantasy and horror genres. Wellman published a second book for Carcosa - Lonely Vigils.which as far as I know has not been released. This collection was originally published by Carcosa House in the 1980s (Karl Edward Wagner was a part owner).and certainly worth a look if you enjoy pulp fiction. I enjoyed most of the stories, but felt the chapter "Night Side of History" contained the weakest stories.this chapter contained several stories based on the American Indian and their beliefs - and could not truly be considered horror stories, but fantasy. The book is split into 4 chapters - Pages from a Memory Book, Gray Voices, The Night Side of History, and Longer in the Telling. Wellman was an adept writer, and set many, if not all of his stories in the South, some set around the period of the Civil War. "Worse Things Waiting" is a collection of Short Stories primarily published in "Wierd Tales" from the Wellman also created the character of Silver John, who wandered the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina - armed only with his guitar strung with silver, and his belief in God. Manly Wade Wellman had a long ntributing stories to Weird Tales, Unknown, and Strange Stories, among others.
