J.N. WILLIAMSON’S
"Scare me!" Editor J.N. Williamson provided this simple guideline for Masques, All New Works of Horror and the Supernatural. From 1984 through 2006, such writers as Stephen King, Robert R. McCammon, Robert Bloch, Charles Beaumont, Ray Russell, F. Paul Wilson, Richard Matheson, and Ray Bradburry did just that in five volumes of Masques, creating classics for the darkest nights of the darkest souls.
