The story I’m thinking of is “The Squaw,” by Bram Stoker. It appeared in an anthology of horror short stories. It was a substantial collection, maybe close to a thousand pages, and in my edition, the cover was bright red. I lost the book close to a decade ago and I’ve recently been itching to re-discover it.
Is there a good online resource for researching something like this?
Besides those appearances in print, I’d like to point out that the story was adapted as a comic ('graphic novel" style), with a script by by Archie Goodwin and art by Reed Crandall in one of the Warren magazines, Eerie issue #19 in December of 1968. (Also in Creepy#13 in Febriary of 1967)
The Wilson short story index has long been the librarians’ go-to resource for all genres. The on-line version is not available to the unwashed masses, but any public or academic library will have access to it.
Another good reference for this kind of thing: Amazon.com. Type in the title and author of a short story and you’ll be connected to books for sale containing them.
It’s not quite as thorough as the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, however. Thanks to Andy L and Chronos, I was able to quickly find the anthology. Amazon didn’t have it. I’m assuming because it’s out-of-print. It didn’t have any of the other titles under which the collection had been published, like The Giant Book of Horror Stories, either.
Also, very cool - I was able to find this edition of Night Cry. When I was twelve or thirteen, I had been given a copy that was missing the cover. I lost it before I was able to finish reading the collection, and had from time to time had occasion to remember the stories I had read, but none of their titles. Being able to look through the editions and see the stories they contained jogged my memory.
