Tepid terror reprints foisted off by Harvey in the final days of the pre-Code horror era. After one more ish, Chamber of Chills would go to its grave along with the rest of Harvey's horror line, only for Casper the Friendly Ghost and his posse of child-friendly spooks, witches and devils to waft, wraithlike, from the burial mound.

A deluxe limited edition of 12 hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a small number of softcovers. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $40, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Eight of the 12 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
