'In one sense, this book is about facing death: putting on and taking off its masks and faces. Despite their collective format, anthologies are personal statements. Idiosyncratic collages, an anthology's perception of its subject is aspected, partial, often incomplete. A perfect reflection of its editor. I've left out writings on many subjects. For instance, limited attention is paiid to ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and zombies. They would overpopulate the book if given a chance and they are amply represented in other collections of literature and folklore....' --p. 8
