I even had to go back and read it a second time! All the suggestions will keep you busy for quite some time.<br /><br />Madeleine - The ghost story book is great!

I am overwhelmed by the number of short stories that have been suggested now! I'm still not convinced I'll ever like them, but hopefully there will be one or two that grab my attention. <br /><br />I do think that Ghost Stories might be the way for me to go. That collection looks interesting, but I think I have enough to be getting on with for now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-689741208795107932009-09-28T23:07:29.114-04:002009-09-28T23:07:29.114-04:00Thanks for the link to Jackie's blog-- and who...Thanks for the link to Jackie's blog-- and who gets 76 comments on a short story post?

I even made myself laugh picking the shortest story in the book (but it was the first one)...such rationalization!

I'll need to read another one or two of his stories before making any firm judgement. Will be curious to see what you think of him.<br /><br />Lezlie - I'll be sharing a story from that collection each Monday in October...stay tuned!<br /><br />Verity - This is the first Virago I've purchased, but I'm sure it won't be the last! As far as internet purchases go, I'm telling myself that they must be 'next up', but I've been good and haven't ordered in the past couple of months.<br /><br />Eva - I hope your library has it. It's a wonderful anthology!<br /><br />Nymeth - I doubt I'll read them all this year, either. This could be good for at least a couple more RIP challenges ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-38467028042535585492009-09-28T18:20:15.512-04:002009-09-28T18:20:15.512-04:00JoAnn, I didn't read and review this one, but ...JoAnn, I didn't read and review this one, but there is a GdM story on my blog here:<br /><br />http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2007/10/todays-short-storythe-horla.html<br /><br />As promised, I read The Sisters this week.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-26078681531763966082009-09-28T15:53:19.611-04:002009-09-28T15:53:19.611-04:00Hop over for an award:

I'll have to check out the Virago book as well as the short story discussion. I avoided short stories for the longest time thinking I wasn't the biggest fan either but what a world has been opened to me reading-wise since taking on Rob's shot challenge.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-69948546211965090512009-09-28T09:22:38.525-04:002009-09-28T09:22:38.525-04:00The Virago Book of Ghost Stories is excellent!
