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? ---

The Internet Speculative Fiction Database ([www.isfdb.org](http://www.isfdb.org)) is a good resource For “The Squaw” it lists well over a dozen places the story has appeared [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?83926](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?83926) ---

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](http://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](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?293238). 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](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?359245), either. Also, very cool - I was able to find [this edition of Night Cry](http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?240677). 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.
