how does marcel ayme hold up? i've seen his "the walker through walls" cited in
at least one best-of (possibly in the back of stephen king's "danse macabre") &
remember coming across a pb copy in a bookstore in tucson about 2 decades ago,
though i didn't pick it up. (wouldn't have mattered, really, since in the
aftermath of a divorce 99-plus percent of my book collection stayed behind in
arizona forever after i moved back to arkansas.) of course, for all i know the
book is actually fantasy rather than horror ...
