Armchair Fiction features the best in classic horror and fantasy short story collections. "Allison V. Harding, the Forgotten Queen of Horror” features some of the best horror tales of the 1940s and 1950s. Who was Allison V. Harding? Allison Harding’s real name was Jean Milligan. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1919 and passed away in 2004. Not much is known about her personal life, but the one thing we do know is that you almost couldn’t pick up an issue of Weird Tales from 1943 through 1950 and not come across one of her stories. Not every Harding story is a classic, but most of them have a very high batting average. Some of them are true forgotten classics. Aim your reading glasses upon tales like “The Frightened Engineer,” “The Coming of M. Alkerhaus,” “Scope,” “The Underbody,” “Fog Country,” “Ride the El to Doom,” “Death Went That Way,” “Night of Impossible Shadows,” “The City of Lost People,” “The Damp Man,” “The Murderous Steam Shovel,” etc. and you’ll understand why. This is the first published collection of Allison V. Harding’s works, but it certainly won’t be the last. This outstanding collection is also the first volume of our new “Masters of Horror” series.
