Enjoyable ride

Robert Bloch is quintessentially known as the author of stunners like "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper" and "A Toy for Juliette". The stories presented in this collection are paler compared to them, but still they are enjoyable in terms of lucidity, irony and humour (there is a surprisingly generous sample of the latter, esp.in the stories like "How bug-eyed was my monster?" and "Beep no more, my lady"). Stories like "Secret of the Observaory" and "Red Moon Rising" have become stale, but the funnier stories are evergreen. Recommended.
