A DEADTIME STORY FROM ROBERT BLOCH


Here's a nasty bit of bedtime reading from the poisoned pen of legendary author Robert Bloch, famously known as the warped genius who wrote "Psycho". Originally published in WEIRD TALES in March 1947, "Sweets to the Sweet" was one of Bloch's numerous short yarns that were reprinted over the years. It's also purported to be one of Stephen King's favorites.

The version you see here is from the "Horror Stories to Remember" department in CAVALIER (March 1961). The men's adventure magazine was published by Fawcett, the same folks who owned a comic book division by the same name. In the 1960s, it was sold to DuGent Publishing where it went from a men's adventure magazine to a straight-up men's magazine, if you know what I mean and pun partially intended.

So won't you take a few minutes on your Yule Eve and read this tasty little tale entitled, "Sweets to the Sweet"?

A Scary Christmas to you all . . .
