Scary Stories for Halloween

By Mark Winter
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. The Guardian has been running a great guest blog on scary short stories which is fun to peruse. Stephen King, H.P. 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.
