Do the Weird Crime, Serve the Weird Time

In the tradition of the old "Ace Doubles" two-in-one books (flip one over to read the second title)--here is the sixteenth Wildside Double:

DO THE WEIRD CRIME, SERVE THE WEIRD TIME: Tales of the Bizarre, by Don Webb. A man who terrifies women, a mystery writer stalking his editors, an old man fantasizing about murder, Brittany Spears revenging her kidnappers, a writer killing people to work out his plots, a magic ring that reveals a hidden killer, a vampire disguised as a syringe...the stranger the crime, the stranger the punishment in this happy marriage of crime writing, horror fiction, and surrealism. GARGOYLE NIGHTS: A Collection of Horror, by Gary Lovisi. At the end of Earth's days, a sorcerer creates a powerful creature--The Gargoyle--to guard the secrets of Earth's last city, Shenumbra. Then the alien Leinites arrive, determined to plunder our world of its riches. But in the process of pillaging the hidden vaults, they rouse the ancient creature from its rest. Now, only the Gargoyle stands in their way!
