Phyllis Paul's Twice Lost has impressed me in two readings, and I expect to read it again.

The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson It was the basis for the 1963 to ToHo Studios film Mantango A. K . A Attack of the Mushroom People . The film is terrific.

I would say most of the Doris Piserchia stories; in particular 'A billion days of Earth' and 'The Spinner'

A. M. Burrage's "One Who Saw," which seems far better than his anthologized waxwork one. "Smee" is also good.

"The Interloper" by Ramsey Campbell

Right, this thread has gone way too far without having mentioned China Mieville. Perdido Street Station is an absolute masterpiece of weird. Dude's a genius of surreal genre-exploding brilliance.

Footprints by A M Burrage

Pigeons From Hell Robert E. Howard One of his best horror stories.

Nice to see that story here because i was just thinking you cant have this thread without Howard,a master of weird tales, horror in that vein.

Other than this story i also like very much "A Man on the Ground"

The Boris Karloff series Thriller did a pretty good adaptation of Pigeons From Hell .

The Planet of the Dead by. Clark Ashton Smith. Beautiful and sad.

 

[dask]

"Spider Mansion" by Fritz Leiber, maybe my favorite Leiber story. Very creepy and weird.

 

[ZlodeyVolk]

Down There by Ramsey Campbell Why an elevator ride the basement of a building might not be the best idea.

Given my particular and … peculiar interests, I think I shall have to find this one, and read it.
