What I love about Pepys is you can read all of his stuff in the voice of Frankie Howerd.

What are the 'horror classics'? Having chatted about this briefly yesterday I've been pondering what might constitute the outline of a 'canon' – essential novels and stories that help us appreciate and understand the genre. So, here's a first take, after a couple of disclaimers. 👇
