Hmmmm tonight could be a good night to fall asleep after reading several M.R. James stories in bed

But maybe not?

But MAYBE

Anyway the important thing is that there is no ash-tree right outside my bedroom window :)

catching up on my #PleasingTerror reading with The Mezzotint, and here again I find another little gem of sentiment: "It was a rather indifferent mezzotint, and an indifferent mezzotint is, perhaps, the worst form of engraving known."

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

'What, like the man in Tess o' the Durbervilles?' Williams put in. 'Yes, I dare say; it's not a book I could ever read myself.’

My favorite line in "The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral": "There *is* no kitchen cat." #pleasingterror

I don't think "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas" was one of the stories MRJ read out loud to his friends, but I still like to imagine the expressions on their faces as they listened to an entire opening paragraph in Latin. #pleasingterror
