Books of Mayhem

The Books of Mayhem, (PROSE: 666 Charing Cross Road) or simply Books of Mayhem, was a series of horror themed anthologies originally curated by Fox Soames until his death. There were originally only twelve volumes, (PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound) but after the series was brought back, there were at least twenty-seven volumes. (AUDIO: Mystery Lady: Episode One, et al.)

Authors who regularly contributed to the series included Algernon, Rosemary, Iris (PROSE: Kept Safe and Sound) and Lady Lucrezia Noggins (AUDIO: Mystery Lady: Episode Two)

The Twelfth Volume contained twelve short stories.

The Twenty-Seventh Volume was The Horrible Book of Terror which contained thirteen short stories from Vaughan Fretwell, Edna Spedding (under the penname of Bella Andover), Fox's wife Magda Soames, Lady Lucrezia Noggins, Sir Oswald Arthur and Dodie Golightly. (AUDIO: Mystery Lady: Episode One, et al.)

Jack was collecting the volumes, though his mother didn't approve of him reading monster stories.

Soames' books were unavailable in New York City, so Liza Bathory wrote to 666 Charing Cross Road and K. N. Wright sent her The Best of the Books of Mayhem. (PROSE: 666 Charing Cross Road)
