November 29, 2025PLACEHOLDER REVIEWS:
"The Diver" by A.J. Alan: A man describes how he seems to encounter the ghost of a diver at his local community swim-club, but a later meeting makes him reconsider. Circumstances have made me read a few A.J. Alan pieces in a short span of time and it should be stated that he is not writing "horror stories" so much as "ghost yarns" (and often, not even that - more like "this happened to me" psychic/paranormal events couched in some approximation of a Wodehousian style). Which means that they they tend to be brief, mildly pleasant, and utterly forgettable trifles (this one even more so).
"The Ghoul of Golder's Green" by Michael Arlen (Dikran Kuyumjian) - Mr. Maturin & Mr. Trevor, two toffs about town, discover (from an affable Cockney policemen) that there are a series of "Ripper" style killings occurring in London, and then are buttonholed by a despondent young woman who spins her yarn of traveling from Bulgaria with a secret formula of her father's worth millions. But on arriving in London, she finds herself pursued while also having to contend with a presumed haunting by a murderous ghost. Absolute junk, which seems to exist only in service of a broad cockney accent comedy at the start and a "funny" shaggy dog story in the climax, bridged by an extended and uninteresting tale of flight from Bulgaria - that takes up the majority of the story even though it is later stated to be a complete falsity. Crap.
In "The Woman Who Rode Away" by D.H. Lawrence, a middle-aged woman, feeling unhappy and bored with her lot in life in Mexico as wife to an unlucky silver miner, chooses to take off one day in search of a remote and isolated tribe of Meso-American Indians she has heard about. On finding them, she tells them she is interested in their Gods and wants to learn their mysteries, a request which they comply with... That summary makes this excellent and subtle story sound far more ominous than it, or its climax, is - although that climax should be obvious to even the casual reader. Lawrence does a very fine job interrogating certain aspects of white privilege, female white privilege, and a fair and sympathetic portrayal of the tribe's belief systems. I dug it.
"The Dancing Partner" by Jerome K. Jerome - an expert maker of clockwork figures turns his skills towards the complaints of young women of his association who are unhappy with their choice of dancing partners at the grand balls. But ingenuity ends in tragedy. There's so much to like about this piece - its succinctness, its restraint (it lets you know that awfulness has happened without spelling it fully out), its prescience (as we enter the age of AI, for good or ill), its (possible) awareness its own lineage (I imagine Jerome must have read Hoffmann's "The Sandman" and incorporated its tale of the proto-android Olympia). A good 'un.
In Lord Dunsany's "A Large Diamond" Jorkens, at the club as usual, tells of his scientific expedition into Northern Russia to track down a gigantic meteorite (very reminiscent of the Tunguska Event). But eventually he and his bearers come across a vast stretch of strange ice that they will not cross... An interesting "Tall Tale" type thing - Baron Munchausen brought forward to our age.
In "The Demon King" by J.B. Priestley, a pantomime actor, notable for playing Mephistopheles, has one weakness - he indulges in drink a bit too much. And in this instance, that calls for the appearance of an "understudy" no one expected... and who seems to be REALLY enjoying himself. A delightful little piece of low-key comedic dark fantasy.

GET ADDICTED TO THIS MILD HORROR
I bought it second hand for one pound in London in the 1960s and I have just finished reading it sixty years later or nearly.
The book was published in 1936 and as such does not contain anything from after that date. The collection of stories is very impressive. They mostly come from British or American literature, but there are a few from a wider horizon. Some of them are very impressive, though there is not much horror in them, at least in the Clive Barker or the Stephen King understandings of the word. They are most of them intensely working on subnormal, paranormal or supernatural events, but most of them more mental than physical. The concluding story by P.C. Wren is disturbing in many ways because we know the child is going to get his vengeance on his father, but we do not know how he is going to do it, the details of it. The story by D.H. Lawrence is just the same but we know such situations are absolutely true. It is nothing but the Stockholm syndrome, though in this case, the woman gets into it willfully, on her own decision and that’s surprising, but we know some religious or mystic sects work like that: create an appeal to bring people in, and then build a total dependence on the mental feeding the sect provides to its members.
The stories are mostly short, and it is a book that can be read one story at a time every night just before going to sleep, already in your bed. The story may give you some slightly paranormal dreams, but that’s the salt of the earth of a good night’s sleep.

I also have the original book which must be the part 1 and 2 together. There are some great reads in here, a real compendium of dark and thrilling tales. Still currently reading at the moment as it is such a huge book. It's cover alone is worth 4 stars, with it's embossed bat on the cover. I was lucky to pick this up for a pound at a fleamarket stall, and proud to own it.

I think this is a reprint of a 1936 book broken into two parts. I have the original a fab anthology full of 30s illustrations and including D H Lawrence's Woman Who Rode Away, Aldous Huxley's The Dwarfs, Conrad's Secret Sharer. Great - a sample caption for an illustration: ALL AT ONCE THERE BROKE FROM HIM A STRANGLED CRY. Whether this edition, in two parts has the same stuff in it I'm not sure.
April 24, 2024
Published in 1936, 'The Mammoth Book of Thrillers, Ghosts and Mysteries' is a terrific collection of 53 short stories, mostly from the late 19th/early 20 century I guess, though the lack of a dated printing history makes this tricky. I found that I had read most of them previously - clearly this has been 'mined' for more recent anthologies since many of them seem obscure. Nevertheless, a rather good read.
