John Wyndham and Wilkie Collins are probably my two favourite authors.
I have read all Wyndham’s novels so I moved on to his short stories and had a lot of trouble indentifying which book which story comes in so I
therefore started to compile the data in a database. A lot of this stuff is out of print so I highly recommend you look on Abe
Books. It is a wonderful resource for hunting down books that you can’t get and it will even e-mail you to tell you a new book has been added.
So far the stories I have found are:-
