Rosemary Pardoe (ed.) - The Ghosts & Scholars Index (Haunted Library, 1993)

Dallas Goffin The Malice of Inanimate Objects

There's a full index to issues 1-33 freely available on the Ghosts & Scholars website, making this twelve pager (issues 1 -15) the one Haunted Library publication you don't really need. But try telling that to a completist.

Piffard illustration for an episode in Max Pemberton's serial Signors of the Night (Pearsons Magazine, 1898)

Alan Hunter illustration for D. N. J.'s The Journal Of Edward Hargood (The Moon-Gazer & One Other, Haunted Library, 1988).

Thanks to Ro Pardoe for doing all the work!

[The Lurker In The Shadows]

This is a handy list to have, as it'll save hunting through my folders containing my (alas, not yet complete) set of back issues for particular stories. I've also realised that I'd managed to miss reading a couple of the more recent stories, so I'm remedying that now. At the risk of sounding like my ego has run rampant, as the G&S Newsletter list includes supplementary booklets, for the sake of completeness you might wish to include the fiction from the booklet that accompanied Issue 22, those pieces being, Ex Libris: Lufford, its 'appendix', A Lufford Legacy?, and If You Don't Come To Me, I'll Come To You.

Fixed (I always get something wrong). Have included TOC of both supplementary booklets. Really, the above is not a patch on the full index listing articles, reviews, letters, illo's, photo's & Co. on the Ghosts & Scholars site.

I always update my index after every issue is published (or actually usually in the week or ten days' hiatus between the time when I've got a proof copy and when all the others are delivered).  That way it's fairly painless - no more than half an hour's work each time, even with my neurotic double-checking and obsessive backing up (in four places!).  I repeat what I said earlier - if anyone else wants a Word file containing the index to G&S Newsletter 11-32 (i.e. not on the website), let me know.

Anyway, thanks, Kev, for the fiction listing.  It's handy to have it separated off like this.
