DavidMcCann Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'd nominate Adrian Ross. The Hole of the Pit. Difficult to find, but a very effective story of evil magic in the 17th century by a man who gave up an academic career to write operetta librettos! H. P. Lovecraft. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Probably his best story. Susan Bill. The Woman in Black. Classic ghost story. Galen Beckett. The Magicians and Mrs Quent + The House on Durrow Street + The Master of Heathcrest Hall. Set in an imaginary world and like Jane Austen crossed with Bram Stoker. Susanna Clarke. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Tanith Lee. Tamastara. Quote
Madeleine Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I don't think Susan Hill has ever matched The Woman in Black for ghost stories, I've read a couple of her others and they just seem flat by comparison. I like the sound of the Jane Austen crossed with Bram Stoker! Quote
