      • This is a reprint of the revised edition (1963) of the anthology, which differs from the 1947 one : it contains 31 stories (against 33 for the first version), 14 of which only are common to both publications.
      • Each story or group of stories by a specific author is preceded by a bio-bibliographical presentation by Pierre Castex.
      • As some of these stories are in fact excerpts from longer works, their titles have sometimes been made up by the editor.
    This anthology, as well as its original 1947 version, are the source of most of Francis Lacassin's Les maîtres de l'étrange et de la peur, published in 2000.
