My brother Tim introduced me to this book, though I did not read it until several years later. Tim passed on this past year, but I still have my original copy of this book that he talked about. It's a short story collection by Manly Wade Wellman featuring his "Silver John" stories. It's a good "stormy night" book that can occupy your evenings quite nicely... unless you sleep alone, then perhaps you want to wait until daylight to read it.
