"Grim Nightmares: Two Tales of Terror by Theodora Benson & Algernon Blackwood"

Two selections from the 1935 anthology "My Grimmest Nightmare". In 'Room 2000 Calling' a high society beauty receives a late night call from an ex-lover...with unexpected consequences. In 'By Water' a man doesn't think a fortune teller's warning of death will come true in Egypt.
