Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories that go bump in the night

Stories that go Bump in the Night is a collection of short (and chilling) tales written by various authors, selected by the Master or Suspense himself. They are all different and unrelated in plot and style, but they each have in common an aspect of gruesome murder, or a macabre twist that forces you to read on, and yet makes you shiver when you're done. One of my favorite stories was Easy Mark by Talmage Powell, about a seemingly defenseless man, who walks into a drug bar and is subsequently robbed of his car and some money. What the-would be assailants don't know, is that the body of this man's wife, whom he murdered, is in the trunk, thereby making them the easy marks. However, I really liked the style of writing that Theodore Sturgeon used in The Other Celia, which is about a peeping Tom who spies into the life of someone not human. The language the author used made trespassing sound everyday. I think that Hitchcock chose some really good tales that I would have never read to be in his book. I loved how many of these yarns were similar in effect, and yet different as far as the plot goes. It's amazing how much oomph a writer can put into such short story.
