Glad you enjoyed, D.
Much more where that came from. In fact, trying to think up new 'macabre' cases - as you say - for Heck to investigate has been the order of play over these Easter holidays.

Thanks to all for the kind words re. my own small contribution to this Advent Calendar. I have to say, having read a couple of others now, this is one of the funnest things I've seen online in quite a while.
Happy Christmas to all.
Paul

Paul Finch (ed.) - Terror Tales Of East Anglia (Gray Friars, Sept. 2012) Steve Upham Very pleased to be able to announce that TERROR TALES OF EAST ANGLIA, the latest in my regional horror antho series is now available to pre-order from Gray Friar Press. To find out a lot more, including full artwork and links straight through to the purchase point, check out my blog: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.co.uk. East Anglia – a drear, flat land of fens and broads, lone gibbets and isolated cottages, where demon dogs howl in the night, witches and warlocks lurk at every crossroads, and corpse-candles burn in the marshland mist …
The giggling horror of Dagworth The wandering torso of Happisburgh The vile apparitions at Wicken The slavering beast of Rendlesham The faceless evil on Wallasea The killer hounds of Southery The dark guardian of Wandlebury
And many more chilling tales by Alison Littlewood, Reggie Oliver, Roger Johnson, Steve Duffy and other award-winning masters and mistresses of the macabre. The book contains ten works of original horror fiction set in East Anglia, and three classic reprints. It also features the usual anecdotal tales concerning supposedly true incidents of East Anglian terror.

Not sure what the ruling is on this site re. ebooks, but my soft-back Ash-Tree collection of 2010, WALKERS IN THE DARK, has now made it into electronic format. This is a big relief for me, firstly because I consider that WITD contains five of my very best horror novellas (none of them published anywhere else, ever), and secondly because it only got a very restricted print run when it first came out (it was really a special release for World Horror in Brighton back in '10). If anyone's interested, there are more details here - paulfinch-writer.blogspot.co.uk/ - plus, it can be purchased for Kindle here: www.amazon.co.uk/WALKERS-IN-THE-DARK-ebook/dp/B008EOWIT0/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1340749104&sr=1-1The stories it contains are: THE FORMLESS SEASON OF MIST FATHOMS GREEN AND NOISOME GOLGOTHA WAY WALKERS IN THE DARK If such self-promotion is not acceptable on this board, please feel free to ignore or delete this message.

Glad you're enjoying this one, D.
The stories for TERROR TALES OF EAST ANGLIA will not disappint. And that one will be sooner rather than later.

How about that death scene in the first series of GAME OF THRONES (sorry, haven't read the books, so don't know if it's in there), when the dragon prince with ambitions to control the barbarian horde, is 'crowned' from a pot of molten gold? That one's absolutely horrific. For anyone who hasn't seen it, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYwH_8tPOGg

I suppose by some of these definitions you could argue that many of MR James's stories are zombie stories, as they often involve reanimated heaps of bones and sacking, or, at the very least, 'ghosts' that can cause physical harm to the protagonists.
But the real problem with a massive anthology like this is that I've already got too many of the stories on my shelves to fork out for it. Shame.
