[lukemorningstar]

Spooky indeed, Dem. Brilliant list, and thanks for the recommendations too. I'm looking forward to getting back to my old Vault ways and maybe posting a Wordsworth 'synopsis' or two!

I'm supposed to be 'working from home' today (waiting for the heating repair man) and I'm reminded of what a reassuringly excellent distraction 'Vault' is.

Look forward to your comments on 'Gothic Short Stories' - my copy will take about 10 days to arrive (Amazon free delivery) so I'll be keeping an eye on your views as you read through.

Cheers!

Lord Probert has already provided an enthusiastic blow-by-blow account of Gothic Short Stories — very entertaining it is, too — and here's some junk about The Werewolf Pack, unusual for the series in that Mr. Valentine includes some contemporary stories (Steve Duffy's The Clay Party is super). I really like our Not Exactly Ghosts thread; it starts as little more than a stub but hops and bops all over the place, very much like our old stuff. There's some very good work on that one.

I had no idea there were quite so many.

Anyone have them all ?

Blurb
For those who sometimes long to escape the strictures of modern life or to inject a little more drama and excitement into their workday world, the remedy could be the collection of stories you hold in your hand. Here for the taking are tales of high adventure and low intrigue from masters of the genre like John Buchan and Robert Louis Stevenson, classics of crime and detection from veteran thriller writers like Edgar Wallace and Arthur Conan Doyle, spine-chillers from the pens of Ambrose Bierce and other purveyors of suspense and horror, and true accounts of courage and survival from heroic and intrepid individuals caught up in the rigours and insanity of war or battling against the elements on gruelling expeditions of discovery and exploration. Between the covers of this crowded volume, Wordsworth Editions has assembled from the work of famous, less well-known and totally unsung writers a treasure trove of rattling good yarns to fire the imagination, chill the blood and perhaps awaken (or reawaken) the spirit of adventure in any reader who dares to plunge in!

thanks for making the effort with those two monsters, gents; particularly like how, in Irish Ghost Stories, you think you've got rid of Le Fanu but he keeps coming back.

Haven't seen that edition of the Haining collection before, James. Gollancz? this is the Sphere from 1971.

That's the Taplinger edition.

Someone should do a giant Welsh Ghost Stories ;D I don't think I've seen a really authoritative edition of Welsh ghostlies - surely there must be a few around.

[dem bones]

Can't think of any giant Welsh Ghost collections, just these slim-lines which I'm sure you already know of. R. Chetwynd-Hayes edited Welsh Tales Of Terror for Fontana, which is certainly entertaining enough as far as it goes, but prefer;

Will likely give that its own thread at some point. A quarter of a century later, Haining followed it with this one, though haven't seen a copy and no idea of the content. Anyone?
