Ten otherworldly "diabolical delights" from the author of Rocket to the Morgue and "The Quest for Saint Aquin" (Kirkus Reviews).   Anthony Boucher was a literary renaissance man: an Edgar Award-winning mystery reviewer, an esteemed editor of the Hugo Award-winning Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, a prolific scriptwriter of radio mystery programs, and an accomplished writer of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. With a particular fondness for the locked room mystery, Boucher created such iconic sleuths as Los Angeles PI Fergus O'Breen, amateur sleuth Sister Ursula, and alcoholic ex-cop Nick Noble.   "A fine volume of inventive entertainment" (The Times, London), this collection features ten of Boucher's greatest stories of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror.   A down on his luck college professor chats with a magician over cocktails, and a hairy situation ensues in "The Compleat Werewolf." Private detective Fergus O'Breen visits Mexico to investigate a peculiar case of a man with a skeleton in "The Pink Caterpillar." Meet androids and aliens in "Q.U.R." and "Robinc." A terrifying--but tiny--demon is summoned in "Snulbug." And a man discovers true terror lingering in the corner of his eye in the California desert in "They Bite."… (más)

I had previously read only mysteries by Anthony Boucher. These stories are some fantasy, some horror, some science fiction. Quite unusually there are a couple of appearances by Boucher's series detective Fergus O'Breen, but in stories of fantasy/horror. My favorites of the stories were the two long ones, The Compleat Werewolf and We Print the Truth, and the short-short, Mr Lupescu, is quite good of its kind. ( )

This is a collection of short stories. The first is the title story & was amusing, an interesting take on lycanthropy. Kind of hoaky, but fun & full of older references from the McCarthy era. Well worth reading. 4 stars.

The second story is a different sort of horror story, "The Pink Caterpillar". It is told by Fergus, the detective from the first story. Interesting, but I wouldn't rush out to read it again. 3 stars.

I continued to read this collection & was more & more amazed by the number of stories & genres it covered. They were all good stories, somewhat dated in most cases, but not badly. Some stories were SF, others a blend of SF & Fantasy or even the paranormal - time travel mixed with a demon or a newspaper that always prints the truth. Some were horror, without gore, but pretty terrifying. Again, I'll use the truthful newspaper as an example or a man who chats with his own ghost.

All were well worth reading. ( )
