In addition to being a collector's item, Gaslight and Ghosts is notable for being the 1988 World Fantasy Convention souvenir book. It features stories from several well-known authors, including Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker, Diana Wynne Jones, Ramsey Campbell, Terry Pratchett, and Brian Lumley. The first edition is described as Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket, with some text block toning at the extremities. Some copies may be signed by the authors.
