Dennis Etchison recommends
 Scars and Other Distinguishing Marks (1986) Richard Matheson and Richard Christian Matheson "The central images of these stories are so powerful and resonant that they linger after structure and specific language have been forgotten. Red seems to me to be a masterwork. Vampire is a tour de force of breathtaking virtuosity." |  The Model (1987) Robert Aickman "Robert Aickman is incomparable - a genuinely authentic original and an absolute master of psychological fiction." |
