Yes, the illustrations for They Change By Night' gave me many a sleepless night too as a child! Ditto the zombie ones - but this is the book that first brought such entities to my attention, so it occupies a special place in my acquisition of knowledge re the unexplained etc. All the best, KarlDr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788904336507460933.post-62642279177813981022022-06-30T13:55:45.611+01:002022-06-30T13:55:45.611+01:00Hi Dr Karl.

Was fascinated to find your blog - it made me very happy.<br />Regarding "The yellow monster of Sundra Strait", you mention in your intro to it above that the artist is uncredited, but the artworks in the story are actually signed "Donnison" - and this would be Selby Donnison, as described over at bookpalace.com:<br />https://bookpalace.com/acatalog/ArtistsBiographies.html#BIOGD<br />... where there are a couple of examples of his other work, and the style is unmistakeable! The good Mr. Donnison's work is on nearly every page of Stranger Than People, and of course it's mostly thanks to his talent that the book had such an impact on me. The illustrations for "They change by night" gave me particular chills! <br />Cheers and thanks again for your blog.<br />Steph (stephmcd@yahoo.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788904336507460933.post-79293265061632717012014-04-03T00:31:05.061+01:002014-04-03T00:31:05.061+01:00Hi Shane, I've scanned the List of Contents pa...Hi Shane, I've scanned the List of Contents page and will upload it here shortly.
