Thanks for the recommendations, Richard. I've
been
looking for something else from Crippen & Landru.
I
was thinking about the Gerald Kersh stories.

I have the Crippen & Landru collection of Karmesin
stories and am very pleased with it. However, those stories
are not of the sort usually discussed here.
Ellery Queen used to call them "smoker car stories."
There is a frame with the Kersh running into Karmesin who
proceeds to relate a tall tale. They are to Kersh what the
Tales from the White Hart are to Arthur C. Clarke. Have you
read Kersh's NIGHT AND THE CITY? It was back in print as
recently as last year. There are other collections with
samples of the darker Kersh along with the light, such as MEN
WITHOUT BONES.
