Notes

  • Month from Amazon.com
  • $12.99 in Canada.
  • Has a dust jacket.
  • The background of the cover has shiny gold shading - this hasn't scanned well. (It's more like the cover of the 2010 tp, but a bit wider.)
  • The layout of the publication / Table of Contents is confusing - there looks like there are more stories than there really are.
    • The Heading "The Spook's Tale" is followed by scene setting text, then has chapter headings interspersed with the story.
    • The heading "Alice's Tale" is followed by scene setting text, then sub-heading "Mouldheels and Maggots" followed by the story.
    • The heading "Grimalkins's Tale" is followed by its scene setting text, then sub-heading "The Witch Assassin" followed by the story.
  • "The Gallery of Villians" is a set of extracts from the series - relating to various villianous characters, plus framing text.
