n.b. the contents of the sidgwick & jackson 1974 h/cvr edition were a major revision, effectively a new anthology, dropping some six stories°, reordering the remainder and interspersing seven others as replacements:

the sandman (ntte) e.t.a. hoffmann (translation of der sandman 1816)
oh, whistle and i'll come to you, my lad (ntte) m. r. james, 1904
the old man of visions (ss) algernon blackwood, 1907
the nameless city (ss) h. p. lovecraft, 1921
that hellbound train (ss) robert bloch, 1958
the emissary (ss) ray bradbury, 1947
dense macabre (ss) melvyn peake, 1963

its title should be differentiated when it is added, or bookcat will automagically assume they're identical.
