What is the difference between Harry Morris and J K Potter? Er, is it a quiz? Does a raven or a writing desk come into it? (They're different people, and Harry's earlier style was quite different to Potter's, though I love Potter's work too.) |

It's getting weird (or surreal) again. Before it does, I should add that John Coulthart's collages are also astonishing and wonderful: I believe there's a portfolio of his out (but beyond my means) inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice (you see - it all links in and we're back to ravens and writing desks!). |

To the editor of The Ghosts and Scholars M.R. James Newsletter
Dear Sir or Madam,
I see that you have solicited contributions to consider for the Michaelmas Newsletter.
I should be able to provide some observations on the alternative graphic version of M.R. James's "The Ash-Tree", as adapted by one Kelley Jones (an American artist of so-called "comic books").
I can provide either a 600-word letter or a 10,000-word impenetrable screed.
I expect the usual emolument of a contributor copy of your inestimable periodical.
In the first instance, please advise on terms and conditions.
Yr obt servant,
Michael Connolly.

Michael Connolly. The impenetrable screed, of course. But seriously (for a change), if you'd like to write a short item on it for next issue (given that I didn't manage to find room to mention it in the latest issue), that would be lovely. |

An impenetrable screed is, yea verily, a joy forever. H. Well you could subscribe to ghosts and scholars But, Clive Ward is a wonderful writer who has been published regularly by G&S, he has had 3 books of Jamesian short stories published by Sarob. His latest tale is in G&S 31, based on a trial during Judge Geoffreys bloody Assizes in the West Country shortly after the Monmouth Rebellion. It's a sequel to M.R James Martins Close and I felt could be read in a number of ways does that help? Laura |

I don't know where to look at subscription rates for that lovely magazine.
I also don't know if it costs the equivalent of $30 to ship an issue from dear Old Blighty over here to snowy (in mid-March!) Boston, Mass. It cost around that to mail a rather large book over here from the UK a few months ago.
I suppose one could inquire!
I'm afraid I don't know Mr. Ward's oeuvre. I am rather behind the times.
cheers, H.

Laura Glad you liked "Assizes" - only Clive would have the period knowledge to equal, or even outdo, M.R. James in creating a believable transcript of a Judge Jeffreys trial. I do, I must admit, take a pride in having 'discovered' Clive way back when. His story "The Spinney" was a runner-up in a Ghost Story Society Competition, and I felt it should have done better (I was outvoted by the other judges). So I published it in Ghosts & Scholars. It was the first of many, and - as I've since discovered - Clive had intended "The Spinney" as a one-off and hadn't really planned on writing any more supernatural tales. |

Email me at pardos@globalnet.co.uk or dandrpardoe@gmail.com, and I'll send you a flyer with all the details. |

Here is a link for the G&S archive, although I don't think any of Clive Ward's fiction appears in it, some fiction, reviews etc , might give you a taste www.pardoes.info/roanddarroll/GSArchive.html#anchor43108 |
