Over on The Cult of Me blogspot, J S Watts provides this week's Friday Poem entitled 'Musing on Mushrooms'. You can discover the poem and why she wrote it below. http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...
Technically, M.R. James Collected Ghost Stories is a re-read, as I have read it many years ago, but it is the monthly read for the Literary Horror Group and I can never resist the opportunity to pick up up a good book again.
