Flowers from the Moon: And Other Lunacies

Summary: A nice compilation of some of Bloch's earlier short stories
Review: An excellent title by a man whose work still delivers the goods. Many of these stories are from Bloch's pulp days and provide a nice body of work to supplement the other titles you might have read including *Psycho*. If you've never owned an Arkham House title, this is an excellent one to snag. It's well-crafted and has a very intriguing dust jacket.

Bloch is a craftsman of the highest order; it's amazing to see how stories written when he was barely out of his teens still compare favorably to ones written late in his career. He was a massive talent.
