Hitchcock has stayed a child at heart
Despite his reputation for adult evil and sophisticated skulduggery, Alfred Hitchcock retains his happy childhood.  He can while away the hours picking the legs off flies and toasting caterpillars on a stick.  And he still demands each evening a bedtime story with an ending that promises satisfying nightmares when he goes to sleep with his headless doll cradled in his arms.  Feeling that there are others who share his pleasure in the simple horrors of life, he has gathered together his very favourite chillers as he proudly presents two great and grisly novelettes and 13 terrific terror tales by:
