Can anyone tell me in which collection or anthology this tale appears? I can't seem to track it down, and am desperate to read it. Cheers. | ||

Haven't a clue. I'm still seeking a copy of that Bloch Lovecraftian tale - Notebook Found...Somewhere. Hopeless, I am. Hopeless. | ||

"Notebook Found in a Deserted House" can be found in TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS (Arkham House, 1990), which, as far as I know, is still available. | ||

I'm still seeking a copy of that Bloch Lovecraftian tale - Notebook Found...Somewhere. That's in Arkham House's Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos matey. Probably a lot of other places too. | ||

There have been paperback reprints in the USA (Roc?) and in the UK (Grafton). 'The Button Molder' (sic) is more elusive. It was published in a special Leiber issue of WHISPERS magazine and reprinted in the omnibus collection THE LEIBER CHRONICLES. It's in one of the John Pelan-edited Leiber volumes from a few years ago, probably THE BLACK GONDOLIER (I'll check when I get home). I'm not aware of any anthology appearances, but there may be some. It's worth seeking out. A quiet, unique tale of loneliness and the urban landscape. | ||

WHISPERS III and FANTASY ANNUAL III, according to Locus, both from '81. I'm pretty sure I have FA-III here somewhere... edited by Terry Carr... anyway, great story.... | ||

Joel, the story isn't in THE BLACK GONDOLIER. It must be in the other, more difficult to find, volume. | ||

The Del Rey reprint of the Arkham House volume (same title) might be more readily available: http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Cthulhu-Mythos-H-Lovecraft/dp/034542204X | ||

Zed, 'The Button Molder' was the story I chose to represent Fritz Leiber in a potential 'favourite ghost stories' anthology a while ago, over on the All Hallows discussion group. I think it's one of his very best (the gradual build-up of menacing hints to a hair-raising climax is beautifully done), not as well-known as 'Smoke Ghost' and 'The Girl With the Hungry Eyes', but every bit their equal. Aside from the Whispers special (which has a wonderful ghostly photo of Leiber) and the Terry Carr anthology, it was included in the Midnight House collection Smoke Ghost and Other Apparitions. | ||

Hm. That means I've read it, and don't remember it. I'll have to crack open my copy of Smoke Ghost when I get home. | ||
