If it's Spectre 1 we can rule out; Mary Danby - Edward Gahan Wilson - Yesterday's Witch James Turner - The Model Penelope Wallace - The Waiting Men E. F. Benson - Negotium Perambulans Joseph Payne Brennan - The Willow Platform Edgar Allan Poe - The Black Cat Bram Stoker - Crooken Sands ... ... so it has to be one of ... Julia Birley - Watch the Birdie Elizabeth Fancett - Cassius Sutro Miller - Ships That Pass Unfortunately, it isn't any of these. Watch the Birdie concerns a bird watcher witnessing the death of a sinister photographer. Cassius deals with a childhood friend who may or may not be a ghost. And Ships That Pass is a gentle tale of an old sailor returning a piece of cloth to the statue of his former captain. Mr Happy

Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume III continues the incredible journey of discovery of this all but forgotten author of horror and dark fantasy. Several of the stories in this selection really stir the emotions. “The Petersen Case” touches upon child abuse. “Tomato Sauce” is almost sickening in its portrayal of blood sports. But there is incredible beauty and sensitivity as well in “I Ride In The Rain”, a simple story with a beautiful message. “The Highest Love” challenges us in a totally different way by suggesting the power of love and sacrifice. All of these stories have things to share and emotions to stir deep inside of us and they touch us as only Hanns Heinz Ewers can touch us. Enjoy! The Execution of Damiens, Typhoid Mary, Trecento, Eileen Carter, I Ride In The Rain, Tomato Sauce, Gentlemen of the Bar, John Hamilton Llewellyn’s End, The Dead Jude, The Tophar Bride, The Petersen Case, The Highest Love, The Jews of Jeb. Purchased Ewers Volume 3. Lemuria 2 and Busson's Fire on the Glacier. Thank you so much for the translations and I'm looking forward to the fourth volume of Ewers stories. Mr. Happy On a side note I would love to see you translate a volume of Paul Heyse's darker tales. There are a couple ebooks available but some of the translations seem a tad lacking. Just a thought. Thank you for all you do.

Released this week from S.T. Joshi.
The blurb:
"The literature of horror is an enormous field, and writers have been assembling short story collections since the early nineteenth century. Such authors as Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, and Bram Stoker wrote many such volumes, and in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the trend has continued with the work of Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, and others right down to the recent work of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and many others. In this volume S. T. Joshi, a leading critic and bibliographer of horror fiction, has compiled the most comprehensive index of single-author horror collection ever assembled, listing nearly 3300 titles. Joshi also includes an index of the nearly 30,000 stories included in these books. The result is an expansive portrait of a literary genre that has enlisted the skill of countless authors worldwide."
I was able to send Mr. Joshi the contents of a dozen or so collections that he was having trouble locating (he was gracious enough to thank me in the book) and the pricing on this is ridiculously inexpensive for the amount of information it contains. Twenty or so years ago this would have only been available in hardback and probably priced in excess of $100.
Available from Amazon.

Maybe her heir/s are similar to whoever keeps putting roadblocks in the way of that old 1930s anthology from some authoress nobody has ever heard of, whose reprint has been "coming soon" for the past ten years or so... The mind reels. cheers, Hel. Ha! We might have the collected works of Mary Williams in hardback, paperback, audio book and adapted to a three season Netflix series before THAT book ever gets released.

She's surely due a revival? There's a tremendous 'best of ...' waiting to be compiled from her 'seventies work alone. If I remember correctly a publisher (Tartarus maybe?) looked at publishing a 'best of' collection a while back but found the author's estate to be somewhat difficult and the idea was abandoned.

Quite strange--I checked Sundial's page for the book and I can't tell if it was ever actually published last January. Not yet. Sigh. Mr Happy

Hi, everyone. Just wanted to let you know that my new 'Hugh Lamb' anthology is out today. It is admittedly far more my own work than dad's, this time around. Hence the swapping of name order on the cover. What started out as a desire to perpetuate Hugh Lamb's legacy has quickly become a passion of my own, so expect more to come. I definitely have the bug! Get it HERE, or go HERE for more info on the Hugh Lamb website. Fantastic news! Ordered! Mr. Happy

I'm mildly curious as to which of Alexander Woollcott's ghost stories was included in the First Arrow Book. I checked ISFDB but I don't see a listing for the Arrow Book series. Only mildly curious so no need to bother if it's already packed away somewhere. cheers, Hel. Moonlight Sonata
