Издательство «Philip Allan»

Примечание:

UK book series published by Philip Allan (1884-1973) and edited by Charles Birkin, who remained uncredited throughout. The series began in 1932, though its roots can be traced to a privately printed annual, The Green Book (4 issues 1919-1922), issued by a disbanded group of Military Intelligence propaganda veterans, including Allan himself and Edward Heron-Allen (> Christopher Blayre). Several stories from The Green Book later appeared in the CL, which consisted primarily of a thrice-yearly Anthology and a series of single-author collections.

Before beginning Creeps Library, Philip Allan had published volumes of Weird Fiction:These next 4 books where all published before the start of the Creeps Library and are NOT part of it. Some collectors consider these books a part only because they have the same theme as Creeps Library books and if published later would be included into the library: «The Death-Mask» by Henrrietta D. Everett (1920), «Who Wants a Green Bottle?» by Tod Robbins (1926), «They Return at Evening» and «Imagine a Man in a Box» by H.R.Wakefield.

Of this next section of titles, all but The Curse of the Red Shiva, The Undying Monster, The Devil of the Depths, and The Monster of the MU I consider to be an associated part of the Creeps Library. When Philip Allan specifically advertised «The Creeps Library» titles on the Dust Jackets of their books, The Red Shiva and The Undying Monster where NOT included- they were only grouped together in the Philip Allan 2/6 Library. And, on some Philip Allan Dust Jackets advertising the «Creeps Library» titles, The Monster of the MU, The Curse of Red Shiva, and The Undying Monster are also advertised but NOT included in the «Creeps Library» (see The Crimson Claw Dust Jacket). Horror on the Asteroid The Creeps Library is advertised and so is The Devil of the Depth- which is seperate from, and not included in, the Creeps Library ad. Why these books were advertised seperately from the Creeps Library is anyone's guess. Among these earlier volumes were:
