Ghosts & Scholars: The anthology appearances

[dem bones]

Ghosts & Scholars 1-33 & Haunted Library Publications (1979-2000): The Anthology appearances.

Copies of the original "fanzine" (as Rosemary Pardoe modestly refers to it) can be hard/ expensive to find, so your best bet might be to look through your old anthologies.

A. F. Kidd - An Incident in the City (Ghosts & Scholars, 1979)

A good source of G & S stories are single-author collections issued by publishers like Ash-Tree, though those, too, can have issues with availability and price; some are also available as ebooks if you don't mind having electronic versions rather than physical books.
