Two posts in a day, but it is Halloween after all, and there is a veritable fright-fest of stuff out there to talk about right now.

Lovecraft, Robert Aickman, Francis Marion Crawford… some undisputed masters of the short story form, of which I am a real admirer, are revisited here, and the comment posts are just as worth a look as readers contribute their own favourites.
