As far as I am concerned no great painters exist today.

I can't make out the signature. Does it say Jojo Lapin X?

I can't make out the signature. Does it say Jojo Lapin X? I have no idea; I cannot make it out either. But it is literally from today.

Shiel doesn't seem very popular. Perhaps his disreputable private life has something to do with it.
I wonder if authors like Shiel, and Ligotti, and C. A. Smith, may be too morbid for Brittish readers? That you like your ghosts to be a little more jolly, with a bit of golf and cricket tossed in between the hauntings?

It's probably more due to their lack of readability. To me, Shiel's prose style is dated beyond recall.

Those old writers are more often than not hard to read, before one even is starting to make judgements about the content. As a young guy I actually read William Morris, and while I surely could appreciate him better today because I know more about him and his times, I just can't get into it any more.
It says much about writers like Doyle, Stoker, Le Fanu, James and so on that they are still readable.
