I happen to have read Bernard Capes's stories from the Horror Masters Classics website. In spite of period style, I met with some amazing pieces. The stories are collected in the Ash-Tree "The Black Reaper" title but I suppose it's an out of stock item. Among standard ghosts, I was pleased to read stories like "An Eddy on the Floor" (a jail horror), "Jack and Jill" (remindful of Poe's vertiginous maelstrom), "The Marble Hands" (as creepy as it is understated), "The Moon Stricken" (even a precursor to Lovecraft's themes), "The Thing in the Forest" (a traditional werewolf with a vengeance), "The Vanishing House" (extremely modern in its existentialist darknening of mind), and others not undeserving of mentioning.
A pleasantly creepy surprise (to me, at least!) |

Maybe he was too, I don't know...he's the author collected in "The Black Reaper" from Ash-Tree. There is nothing against him being an athlete besides. |

I may have been thinking of Geoff Capes... |
