Scottish supernatural/horror writer Dorothy K. Haynes' second book, a collection of short stories which includes the 1947 Tom-Gallon Award-winner, ''The Head.'' From the description on the front flap, these stories ''have a vivid, hallucinatory quality which owes nothing to the nursery books. In their subtle elaboration of detail and the brooding sense of horror which they evoke, Miss Haynes has explored a new vein of the macabre, to which Mervyn Peake's illustrations form the perfect complement.
