Colin's Shorts volume 2, is my second collection of 30 short stories with something for everyone. This again, is a very varied mix from ghost stories to mysteries to sci-fi to horror! But there is some comedy too. These stories are all new and were written over a period of about four months. Once again, I enjoyed the challenge of writing, what seems to me, to be a fair number of short stories to make up a decent sized collection. Finally, as always, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

In this book, we are responding to numerous requests for a more recent and rather more detailed treatment of the subject. The first edition was accorded an excellent reception, but the Books 1 to 5 were written twelve years ago and inevitably there have been advances on many fronts since then.

Volume IV of VI Best edition of the standard work (with analytical index in Vol. VI) Contemporary review from the Athenaeum: "It only be remarked that Colonel Malleson wields his pen with so much skill that while giving a realistic account of all important operations, passing over no really noteworthy act of talent or heroism, and acutely criticising everything which demands criticism, he abstains from overlaying his narrative with details which would have increased the bulk of his book beyond all reason. Another characteristic of Colonel Malleson is that he never hesitates to condemn conduct of which he disapproves or to draw attention to errors which he conceives were committed, whatever the rank or position of those who are the objects of his criticism. The result is that many of the actors in the drama will find their laurels somewhat injured, while others, who from official prejudice have not yet received full credit for their exploits, obtain from the author due praise for their services. The rewards given for the Mutiny were liberal, but it is distressing to find that some of them were undeserved, while on the other hand, many able and gallant men have received no recognition at all ... There are many highly-placed officials whose fame is sadly tarnished by the frank, truthful criticisms of the fearless, uncompromising author of the book before us."

Collecting Two-Fisted Tales issues #36-#41, this volume features--in fully remastered digital color--the work of comic book greats Jack Davis, Colin Dawkins, John Putnam, Jerry DeFuccio, George Evans, Reed Crandall, and John Severin! Foreword by Colleen Coover! Before Two-Fisted Tales burst onto the scene in 1950, war comics were largely unsophisticated, focusing only on action and adventure--wartime propaganda, essentially. But under the editorial direction of Harvey Kurtzman--who also penned the majority of the stories therein--Two-Fisted Tales dared to examine all the horror and madness to be found on the battlefield.
