| What a clever premise! Right up my strasse. A house party. A hypnosis session gone wrong. Kept me guessing to the end. I find Carr/Dickson to be a bit uneven, despite being the Great Master of the locked room mystery, but this one was fair and entert ...more | |

| Concise, quick read about the shadier side of the history of St. Augustine and the roaring businesses of vice--booze, gambling, and comfort houses. A bit of an eye opener that so many brothels co-existed, successfully run by women for so long. This b ...more | |

| I read Hunting Party and The Guest List almost back to back, and regretted it. Too similar and the characters -- how to put this-- the more you get to know them, the more you don't want to hang out with them. They're all hiding some dark something th ...more | |

2nd of 2: I know it's odd to post video stuff on a BOOK page but I bet you'll like this too. An adaptation of M.R. James' Haunted Doll House. This one is memorably creepy and so well done!

Hi Jinx The Poet! I'm attaching links here to my favorite recorded story, "Smee" by Burrage. The visual is blinky and annoying, so don't watch it, just listen.

Hello J. Elliot, thanks for the friend request! Per your message/invite, I very much understand traversing and sometimes even falling down rabbit holes while reading. Reading’s an adventure that way. =) If you ever have any Victorian ghost stories to recommend, always feel free to send them my way. Very cool to meet you! =)Peace & happy reading, Jinx
