Alternate cover for When Michael Calls, a later edition featuring an introduction by Stephen King. Wonder what nonsense he has to say about this one. The King book I most enjoyed on first reading is Danse Macabre -- but of course that was before I had seen/read many of the movies and books he talks about in that work. Having corrected that in later years, I see that while DM is entertaining, King's pseudo-scholarly opinions are often incomprehensible: The Amityville Horror (the original film) succeeded on the basis of America's economic woes, The Exorcist (novel) is "thudding" and "humorless," Mad Max is a "turkey," and so on. But then this is the guy quoted as saying that Carl Jacobi was “One of the finest writers to come out of the Golden Age of fantasy.”
