Bunches of good anthologies o' horror and such. The Red Skelton book has some of my favorite stories, such as Lord Dunsany's In A Dim Room, Lafcadio Hearn's The Boy Who Drew Cats, and The Water Ghost, by John Kendrick Bangs. For those who are paying attention, Herbert Van Thal was also the editor of Great Ghost Stories, the scariest book of my childhood.
Book Count: 1523.

I have the Red Skelton book. Found it in a used book store a long time ago.
