Uncollected during the writers lifetime, but some have appeared in various anthologies. My own compilation, obtained from various magazine archives.
In the titular story, The Signal Tower, Tolliver has to teach his colleague and former lodger Joe a lesson when he begins to harass his wife and young son. This story was selected for The Best American Short Stories of 1920 (annual anthology published by Small, Maynard & Company); and is probably Camps most frequently anthologized story.
The other works in this small collection perhaps do not quite come up the the level of mystery and the macabre found in The Signal Towerand The Draw-Keeper, but they are interesting for fans of this writer. The final three selections are non-genre, but might be labeled as mysteries of the heart.
