Aging, semi-disabled Transwoman hobbling around the Midwest as she obsessed over classic horror, ghost stories, cryptids, vintage comicbooks, tabletop rpgs and modern animation.
People think that everything they learn in school is just someone elses 'opinion'. Now, that's that's kinda true. History is often a patchwork of agreed upon self-deceptions - but people think things like the moonlanding, the shape of the earth, germ theory, gravity & evolution, are just 'opinions'.

He actually isn't. Unfortunately WE don't employ him, and the people who do are as out of touch with reality as Joe Scarborough.

I support, endorse and agree with this opinion. Why isn't he shilling for GBNews?

Very cool!

Trump is as stupid and foul as he always was. It's the people who VOTED for him that offend and disappoint me. I know so many otherwise charming elderly men and women who just blindly handed their vote to this filthy monster. If asked, they reply with empty Jesus-Haiti-Putin- DEI-Heritage nonsense.

Another great writer of ghost stories was L.T.C Rolt. If you can find a copy of his one book "Sleep No More", it's worth picking up. The Mine, Bosworth Summit Pound, Garside Fell Disaster, and Hawley Bank Foundry are all about haunted...industrial locations. Haunted canals, mines, tunnels and such.

You can find 'Red Lodge' most any place, but "The Thirteenth Hole at Duncaster", "Blind Man's Buff", and 'Look Up There!' are all worth reading.

I can agree with that. The Red Lodge is an obvious choice for best story, but each of his collections have several very good tales.

The haunting line "That which walks in Betton Wood knows when it walks and why it cries" stays with me long after the story fades.

That's because there are too many good James stories to choose from. James track record is easily 90% gold. Even the occasional dud feels worth the time to read.

I don't need to read "Two Doctors" or "Fenstanton" again - but I'm amazed by how disturbing "A Vignette" is.

A pretty dang GOOD adaption!

The Mezzotint is perfect in it's simplicity.

This is gonna sound crazy, but when I read the 'pillow' scene, I always bare my teeth in an imitation snarl, reach up to my own mouth, and (closing my eyes) I run two fingers over my lips and teeth in a single motion and imagine FEELING that in the dark. Invariably I get gooseflesh.

Wait! One more! "Mr Humphreys and His Inheritance" pleases me on so many levels!

Oh, James! Sooo satisfying! If I had to pick a favorite (from a lady who's read his whole body of work a minimum of once a year for 3 decades), I'd say "A Warning to the Curious", "Oh, whistle and I'll come to you my lad", and "Rats".
