mortbury: How many of those anthologies did Pan put out? I used to know, but my memory seems to be undergoing renovation a lot lately....

There were 30 volumes 1959-1989. The first 25 were edited by Herbert van Thal, and the last 5 by Clarence Paget.

In 1990 Paget and Stephen Jones edited Dark Voices: The Best From The Pan Book of Horror. Stories were chosen by ‘big names’ in the horror field.

Then Jones and David Sutton put together 5 more volumes of Dark Voices, subtitled The Pan Book of Horror. These contained mainly original material. Few of the contributors to DV had contributed to the original series.
