Hi folks, Stumbled across these boards purely by accident and to say they are my "cup of tea" would be something of an understatement. Feel instantly at home! Anyway, I run an online horror short story discussion club/group on my blog called Dreadful Thoughts. To date we've had 10 "meetings" in which we've discussed the following (all discussed stories must be freely available to read online - so it's almost all "copyright expired" stuff). 1) Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad (M. R. James) 2) The Willows (Algernon Blackwood) 3) Sredni Vashtar/The Tell-Tale Heart (Double Bill) 4) Kerfol (Edith Wharton) 5) The Monkey's Paw (W. W. Jacobs) 6) Green Tea (Le Fanu) 7) The Man Who Went too Far (E. F. Benson) 8) The Vampyre (Polidori) 9) Gabriel Ernest (Saki) 10) The Inmost Light (Arthur Machen) See here for details: www.fustar.info/category/dreadful-thoughts/Just getting ready to announce what we're tackling for meeting 11 (haven't decided yet), but I'd be d elighted to see any of the Vault of Evil posse join in. We used to run the discussions "live" - at a set time on a Monday (Irish time) but everyone had commitments/kids (etc) so I'm leaving threads open for a week now. Pop over and have a look. We even have club badges! |

Story 11 - "The Upper Berth". tiny.cc/KhThPCome join in if you fancy it. By the way, any fans of Fitz James O'Brien on here? I'm heading to a conference in Paris next month on "What Was It?" (giving a paper) and would love to natter about it. Ha! Quite incredible. I actually just found out about O'Brien through these boards here and I'm new myself. I haven't yet read that story, but I'm curious as to the topic of your paper. Also your link goes to an article on a politician apologizing for making comments on someone's teeth, rather than the intended story. |

Not entirely sure what the topic of my paper is myself...yet! |
