Re: Create your own short story collection!
- Since I posted my list of essential weird british fiction, I realized that two stories I read since compiling the list years earlier, Quentin S. Crisp's 'Ynys-y-Plag' and Stephen Laws' 'The Crawl' are both very deserving of a place therein.

Re: Create your own short story collection!
Yes, this is a most excellent thread.
Until I assemble a list, which may be never, due to my bad memory of titles and authors, I would have to include THE INTERLOPERS by Saki (H.H. Munro) This story so affected me as a child that I never could forget it. A spine-tingling ending. http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-st...oks/Inte.shtml | |||||||||||

I've only read a couple of Saki's stories but they are brilliant and one of a kind.. I need to delve deeper..

Re: Create your own short story collection!
I have bookmarked this already remarkable thread and will attempt to read every story I've seen mentioned that I haven't already read!
Thanks to everyone! I'm mulling over my own dream-anthology list. | |||||||||||

Re: Create your own short story collection!

James The Willows - Algernon Blackwood Thurnley Abbey - Perceval Landon The Wind in the Portico - John Buchan The Voice in the Night - William Hope Hodgson Smee - A. M. Burrage The Room in the Tower - E. F. Benson Blind Man's Buff - H. R. Wakefield Tarnhelm - Hugh Walpole Whittington's Cat - Lady Eleanor Smith The Tower of Moab - L. A. Lewis The Clock - W. F. Harvey The Terror on Tobit - Charles Birkin Randalls Round - Eleanor Scott 1945 - 2010 Couching at the Door - D. K. Broster Podolo - L. P. Hartley Curious Adventure of Mr. Bond - Nugent Barker Cushi - Christopher Woodforde Cwm Garon - L. T. C. Rolt Ringstones - Sarban Not After Midnight - Daphne du Maurier Men Without Bones - Gerald Kersh The Island of Regrets - Elizabeth Walter Pages from a Young Girl's Journal - Robert Aickman Remember Your Grammar - Simon Raven The Farmhouse - David A.
