And an episode where they recreate a ton of the shots from the windmill scene from Army of Darkness

This one's real worth your time. We're releasing a reprint from this in the next couple weeks to help spread the word of how good it is.

There's also a second collection out there. Not quite as good as the first, but still some good stories. Terraces of Night IIRC

Those two are worth a revisit.

oh no

Also, "Breaking the Waters" by Donyae Coles should meet your criteria

Would N count? Or Mrs. Todd's Shortcut? I don't think these are his best known short stories, but they have lively cosmic horror.

Entirely fair, thanks. I understand that challenge.

Have you read Nights of the Round Table by Margery Lawrence?

If Averiogne stories are outside your standard remit, which CAS stories are the best fits?

A wonderfully grotesque "spicy" tale
