"Most people know Gahan Wilson primarily as the sharp-witted, often macabre cartoonist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, The National Lampoon, Playboy, and other magazines."--BOOK JACKET.

"Sometimes amusing, sometimes frightening, Wilson's short fiction is as eclectic as his cartooning. "Campfire Story" mixes nostalgia with unease. "The Marble Boy" is a story from the oral tradition - a tale to be told during a sleepover. "It Twineth Round Thee in Thy Joy" might have appeared in the science fiction pulps of the thirties."--BOOK JACKET.

"These tales and the twenty others that fill out this collection are entertaining and unnerving. To add to readers' enjoyment, The Cleft and Other Odd Tales contains more than two dozen original Gahan Wilson illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.
