Stanley Ellin's first short story, 'The Specialty of the House', about a New York restaurant with a special gourmet menu, was published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1948 and caused an immediate sensation, winning him a special Ellery Queen Award. 'The House Party' and 'The Blessington Method' subsequently both won Edgar Awards. Stanley Ellin, who was made a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America in 1980, is acknowledged as one of the great masters of the 20th-century short story, and this volume brings together the best of his work in the genre.

The speciality of the house
I read the first three stories but put it back on the shelf after that. Slightly dated twists/revelations that seem to undermine the imagination of the reader (just because the twists seem like such cliches these days and are totally expected).
...must have been good back in the day though. I'd read more if I was staying in Devon a bit longer and it wasn't one of my Dad's books.
I think some of the Twilight Zone storylines must have been influenced by Ellin.
