It's a Draw!

E.F. Benson's stories 'Caterpillar's and 'The Room in the Tower' came joint first with 11 votes each in the exciting online poll, closely followed by 'The Face' and 'Negotium Perambulans'. I was surprised that there were poor showings by the much-anthologised vampire story 'Mrs Amworth' (5 votes) and 'How Fear Departed from the Long Gallery' (2 votes).

So, that's Fred Benson. Let's have a breather. Next up, Aickman. So far I've got these stories. There are rather a lot of them. Any more?

Pages From a Young Girl's Journal
The Houses of the Russians

This is the hardest yet....

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
