This book has been written this whole time and I've never read it?!

I'd only progressed a third of the way into my e-copy before sprinting over to the bookstore to pick this up, which I'd passed over countless times. Great stuff!

Nice grab! I need to get a good copy of M.R. James short stories. I kinda like the Easton copies for the classic/gothic horror.

Very nice, bugen. I am sufficiently jealous!

Nice add!

Thank you guys! I'm trying to find the right spot on my shelves for it. Probably couched among my other favorite short story writers, some of which are trades. They've caused explosions of laughter and reduced me to tears, boiled my blood and turned me to stone in past, present and future. Of them all, Harlan Ellison is the only one to have ever knocked the wind out of me.

Nice add. I have the e-book. It was part of the Sub. Press bundle from humble bundle. Couldn't afford the limited right now. Congratulations.

You might be interested in this one. The Christmas Ghost Stories of Lawrence Gordon Clark. I have a copy and it's very nice.
"Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 095739277X, Paperback)
In 1971, during the Christmas holiday period, the BBC broadcast a drama called The Stalls of Barchester, directed by former documentarist Lawrence Gordon Clark, and based on writer Montague Rhodes James' The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral. That 45-minute film, initially created to fill a festive programming slot, initiated a BBC tradition that ran for the next six years under the umbrella title of A Ghost Story for Christmas, which also established a link between the young director and that most quintessential of English ghost story writers. Here, for the first time, Lawrence Gordon Clark writes about his experiences in making these chilling supernatural vignettes at an exciting and creative time in the broadcasting corporation's existence. Included here are the very stories by M. R. James upon which the dramas were based prefaced with exclusive new introductions by the director, plus appendices."
