 The Literary Gothic | Bram Stoker
Stoker wrote a number of other novels and short stories, several of which (The Jewel of Seven Stars and Lair of the White Worm, to mention just a couple of the novels) also have major supernaturalist elements.
Another one of Stoker's sexually fraught tales - and another (like "The Judge's House" and Dracula) prominently featuring rats - this one features a hero on the verge of marriage (as was Stoker at the time he was writing this tale), a Parisian dump, and Olympic-caliber athleticism.
This is, arguably, Stoker's best traditional ghost story (not that he has many such works); while heavily indebted to Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's "Mr.

The title story is a chilling exploration of a handicapped child's use of alter egos to explore, among other things, adult sexuality.
I think he's better at novels, but I enjoy his stories because he is able to isolate one or two wild ideas into a coherent story rather than jumbling them all together in a novel where they don't always make sense.
Other stories, and there are a lot of them, are sketchy, gimmick-ridden, flatly written, and somehow smug in their pseudo profundity.

 Ghost Signs - Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor Volume 1 (Dark Horse Comics Collection) by Harlan Ellison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
To my taste this is the best story in the book (both the story as the painted art are not to be missed).
Some of the others are nice (The Len Wein story and something called "On the Slab") but there's also a story done by Phil Foglio about which you'll probably feel sorry you took the time for it afterwards.
Between the several short stories, in the sequences where Ellison takes the reader from one department to another, Ellison uses some pages to take some personal shots at people who in his eyes wrongfully criticezed his work, in a pretty chauvinistic way.

What we have here is Harlan Ellison having some of his short stories (of which he has written over two thousand) adapted into being graphic stories.
Not a few of those stories are already considered some of Ellison's best work in recent years: "Pulling Hard Time" is a hard-hitting, futuristic tale which begs a closer examination of our penal system and the often lopsided scales of justice.
And "Midnight In the Sunken Cathedral" is a haunting story about a son who transcends time and space to confront the father he never knew.
