Non-Sketch, but posted here for consideration in our alt-Creeps selection. Uncollected supernatural fiction by two Powers of Darkness contributors.

Hester Gorst - Second Sight: Wishaw Press & Advertiser, 17 June 1927.

Ismay Trimble - "Whence & Whither?": Whitstable Times & Tankerton Press, 3 April 1948.

Not to forget

E. R. Morrough's The Blocked Jet (New Statesman, 7 Jan. 1928)

From the first, I set myself against "literature"; the story was the thing, and no amount of style could persuade me to select a story that lacked genuine, unadulterated horror. For those who wanted something high-brow there was plenty. - Christine Campbell Thomson

Thanks a lot for the transcriptions! The Gorst tale is especially lovely.
