I'm reading Jeremy Dyson Never Trust a Rabbit which is turning to out to be a great collection of stories that lean toward orginal horror. Giving me a lot ot think about. He is one of the screenwriters of The League of Gentleman, a very dark television series set in England. He and any Nyman also did a run of stage shows featuring "old school" horror stories, aptly named, Ghost Stories, which proved VERY successful. Here's an interview with the writers who explain more, though, part of the appeal and attractive of the stage shows was that no one could tell you what happened lest it dilutes the impact:

A friend of mine went and he goes on ghost hunts in various parts of England - he jumped out of his skin several times, but it also had a weird spooky feel to it all.Last edited by Craig Wallwork; 06-26-2011, 01:41 PM.

What can scare me is the thinly veiled torture fantasy that's depicting a revenge against an ex-girlfriend. You wouldn't believe how many of those we see. Please stop torturing and killing off your ex-girlfriends and their new boyfriends and trying to sell it.

Originally posted by RichardThomas View PostI had a similar story happen, Nik. Had a story accepted, so of course I then pulled it from other submissions that I had out. Then a few weeks later I got a rejection from the same place, for the same story. Sent them several emails and went to their website, NEVER HEARD BACK. Needless to say I was pissed off, and have never submitted to them again.
