Pickpick

Really loved it but was frightened by it too. Another example of how ordinary people can do terrible things almost out of habit or because every body else does it without thought. Trying to think of a current comparison. Our habit of bad gossiping is one I think.

Complete Stories | Edgar Allan Poe

Can anyone suggest some contemporary horror writers on a par with C18, C19 and C20 writers eg Poe, Shelley, Stoker, Machen, Jackson. Thanks Maxine

The Haunting of Hill House | Shirley Jackson

Have just finished listening to this on audio book.
Though not quite contemporary it is a modern Horror Classic
Any thoughts?

I am continuing to go back to real ‘Victorian Gothic‘. Rereading the classics of Stevenson, Shelley, M R James, Hawthorne, O Henry, Melville, Flaubert, Gaskell etc etc.
#I really enjoyed Dracula and I can see his influence on others.

Am currently well into Stokers “Seven Stars”
