    • The story "Rock and Roll Has to Die" is credited to Philip Nielsen in the table of contents, but Neilsen on the title page of the story. He is also Neilsen in the "About the Contributors" section at the back, and on the back cover. "Neilsen" put here, as that is what is on the title page of the story.
      (Further, "Neilsen" is correct, based on the Philip Neilsen website - [here].)
    • The Carmel Bird story is "The Conservatory" in the TOC, but just "Conservatory" on the story's title page. The latter used, as per ISFDB conventions.
    • The text layout is well-spaced, including a separate title page for each story (on an odd-numbered page), followed by a blank page. This was taken into account when estimating story lengths.
    • The theme of the anthology is "dark" stories about old houses. Some of the stories are might be non-genre or marginal.
    • Note: The second printing - also 1995 appears identical except for "Reprinted 1995" on the copyright page.
