I used to read these anthologies as a teenager in the late
60s and early 70s -- lots of good stories. I particularly
remember Gerald Kersh's "The Men Without Bones" because it
scared the shit out of me! So of course I read it aloud at a
campfire on a Boy Scout camping trip and scared the shit out
of everyone else, too.
