There's also an old Seabury Quinn tale titled THE GREAT GOD PAN which is in the book "The Hellfire Files of Jules de Grandin" But if yopu are going to read Seabury Quinn, I recommend seeking out his short "The Cloth of Madness" (maybe called The Shroud of Madness). It is great.

Oh, and for King I choose The Reaper's Image...

My pick would be Survivor Type from the anthology Skeleton Crew,it's kind of like a twisted version of Robinson Crusoe or Castaway,it would be difficult to adapt but if someone could do it justice this could be a quite a disturbing horror movie.

Not that I am aware of, it was just wishful thinking. Now I am a happy girl!
Thanx.

Yeah, I'm fishing here - but I'd love any comments.
From a Buick 8 - a bit drawn out (as much of his stuff is these days!) but what a fabulous ending. Horror at its best! :D
