Introduction

Here, published the same month as the 20th Anniversary Issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, is the first of a new series of anthologies consisting of stories that first saw the light of day in AHMM. And a bonanza collection it is, with 30 stories by some of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine's most competent and illustrious tale-spinners, including Holly Roth, C. B. Gilford, Jean Potts, David Ely, Edward D. Hoch, Nedra Tyre, Bill Pronzini, Hillary Waugh, and Borden Deal.

Also included are 7 stories that won awards in AHMM's story contest in the '6os-Jack Ritchie's "The Third Call," Robert Bloch's "A Home Away from Home," Henry Slesar's "You Can't Blame Me," Donald Honig's "The Man We Found," Lawrence Page's "Final Anangements," Clark Howard's "Spook House," and Gilbert Ralston's "A Very Cautious Boy."

But every story in this new anthology is prize caliber—first-rate, rewarding, spellbinding reading from the master of suspense.
