INTRODUCTION
Greystone Bay ("The City Horror Calls Its Own") was a shared-world anthology for horror fans. I read the first volume and was interested by the possibilities—a Thieves' World of contemporary horror. I wrote the editor, Charlie Grant, and told him that the town definitely needed a doctor and that I would gladly supply him. He agreed, told me to give it a shot, and sent me the particulars on the town of Greystone Bay.
I wound up supplying the town with two doctors. One is pretty straight, but the other...the other is Doc Johnson. You don't mess with ol' Doc Johnson.
Years later I transported it from Grant's turf to my own, calling the town Ludlum Bay and placing it near the Jersey Shore.
