DEMONS BY DAYLIGHT
This collection was the fabled second book by the great Ramsey Campbell and is widely considered a landmark in scare fiction
THE LONG TOMORROW AND OTHER SCIENCE FICTION STORIES
Overall this book ranks far from the top in the Moebius hierarchy, yet contains one absolutely indispensable portion: the Dan O’Bannon scripted title story
AFFAIRS OF A CARDIOVASCULAR NATURE
A collection about which the cliché “expect the unexpected” fits quite well

MONSTER MIDWAY
A nonfiction anthology that explores all aspects of early Twentieth Century carnival lore, as observed by the late William Lindsay Gresham
MAGIC MIRROR
A worthy, if frustratingly little known, addition to the underground comics scene
