I stumbled on this book when I was doing research on vintage children’s stories. A man tells his grandson ghoulish tales during a stormy night. This was published in the late 1970’s and wouldn’t be considered appropriate for today’s young children (older children, yes). The illustrations are delightfully bizarre and the text borders on the gruesome. It’s a fantastic read for anyone who enjoys strange and dark tales. #bookreview #bookrecommendations #kidlit #spookystories #horrorstories #books

Eventually, it sounded close enough that fear took over & we ran. But after we crossed the cemetery, we stopped and nothing was behind us. Incredulity set in because how can there be something?

So we went back, searched & found nothing. Still wonder what that was.

Just read ‘On Mirrors’ by Ben Tufnell, a modern short story with a Victorian feel. A man acquires a mirror which might have been made by a Venetian alchemist, in which he sees not a reflection but a double, or spiritual sibling. Unnerving. #SpookyStories #ShortStories #Horror

Wishing the legendary writer, poet and literary critic, Edgar Allan Poe a very "happy" birthday.

Just read (listened to) 'Mr Jones' by Edith Wharton, 1928 – a macabre ghost story with a cruel twist. #GhostStories #SpookyStories #ShortStories

Just read ‘The Landlady’ by Roald Dahl. Post-war boarding house grot meets pulp serial killer camp. #ShortStories #SpookyStories

Now reading ‘Ringstones’ by Sarban (John William Wall), 1951. Good bit here about pylons as an intrusive, ubiquitous aspect of modernity. #Books #RuralModernism #SpookyStories
