Frank (422 entries); "The Residual Gothic Impulse 1824-1873" by Benjamin Franklin Fisher IV (101 entries); "Psychological, Antiquarian, and Cosmic Horror 1872-1919" by Jack Sullivan (260 entries); "The Modern Masters 1920-1980" by Gary William Crawford (311 entries); and "The Horror Pulps 1933-1940" by Robert Weinberg (15 entries). Part two of is "Supernatural Verse in English" by Steve Eng (64 entries). Part three, pages 455-520, comprise "reference sources,"largely complied by Mike Ashley. The reference section is dated; Crawford's contribution is poor, Weinberg's superseded, the remainder are excellent, especially Eng on supernatural verse.
