In a Lonely Place and Why Not You and I are great collections
of Wagner's short fiction. I loved him as the editor of Best
Horror Stories because he always included stories that varied
in tone and style. I still read the TB Years Best Horror
edited by Stephan Jones, but the stories all seem more
similar in tone and style to me than the volumes edited by
Page or Wagner.
