\"Alfred<\/p>\n

12 Stories for Late at Night<\/em> is the second of three anthologies edited by Alfred Hitchcock that I read for the Deal Me In Short Story Challenge<\/a> this year. It contained some of the creepiest stories of the year, including “The Cocoon” by John B. L. Goodwin, “Vintage Season” by C. L. Moore, and “Our Feather Friends” by Philip McDonald.<\/p>\n

I always enjoy these Hitchcock anthologies, but this is one of the better collections, especially since it contains several top tier authors including Ray Bradbury, M. R. James and Evelyn Waugh.<\/p>\n

Here are the stories from the collection, along with the dates I read them:<\/p>\n
