Scott Fitzgerald, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and many other well-known authors. Here are the Finalists:

Review by Beverly J. Rowe at Myshelf.com

I suspect that this bunch of authors are a warped lot...definitely marching to their own drummers.  Some of our favorite weird writers are back with more, definitely twisted, tales to populate our nightmares.  Here is Joyce K. Jensen with "And Dance by the Light of the Moon," Marilyn Peake is back with "Repo Girl and the Fortune Faerie," Kim McDougall telling the tale of "Megan's Baby," and J. Richard Jacobs with "Brutus and the Pig" and "Osculating Bufonidae".  You will never forget Clay Rhett's story, "Last Flight," and "Roller Duck" will visit you again in unsettling dreams, along with other authors with equally frightful stuff.
