SEVEN MORE EERIE A. M. BURRAGE STORIES

A few years back I covered six excellent, spooky short stories by A. M. Burrage here at Horrordelve. That post has long remained one of the site’s most popular posts ( https://horrordelve.com/2015/04/19/a-m-burrage-article/ ), so I decided it was high time to seek out some more. Having done so, my initial impression of him has been […]

FIVE MORE WEIRD HORROR STORIES BY CLARK ASHTON SMITH

I’ve covered Clark Ashton Smith and his works a couple times here previously, but he has a lot more stories to be examined and each of these are very strong. So, with that in mind, let’s dive back in! THE STORIES: 1. “The Willow Landscape” (1931) – An art-lover is forced to sell off his […]

MY TEN SHORT HORROR FICTION QUIZ ANSWERS

My friend, Jay Rothermel, recently presented this series of questions online and since I’m running way behind on stuff this month, I thought I’d post my answers here for this month’s Horror Delve entry. Short horror fiction I think underrated: “Clairvoyance” by D. K. Broster (1932) – I challenge anyone to read it. It starts […]

EIGHT EERIE STORIES BY MARY ELIZABETH COUNSELMAN

Born in Alabama in 1911, Mary Elizabeth Counselman was a speculative fiction and poetry writer whose work appeared in numerous popular publications such as Weird Tales, The Saturday Evening Post and Colliers to name a few. She worked as a reporter for The Birmingham News later in life and had a deep appreciation for cats, […]

THREE CLASSIC CASINO AND GAMING HORROR MOVIES

In many ways, horror is the classic movie genre. 2022 marks a century since the release of F.W. Murnau directing Max Schreck in Nosferatu, which still has the power to send chills down the spine 100 years on. Some horrors draw from classic literature – think of how Washington Irving’s Sleepy Hollow and its Headless […]

CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY READING LIST X

Just as Horror Delve’s Annual Halloween Suggested Reading List hit its tenth iteration this past October, it’s now time for the Christmas Reading List to follow suit. Putting this annual list together never fails to get me in the mood for the festive season. This year’s selection of stories skews more toward the recent than […]

FELLSTONES BY RAMSEY CAMPBELL REVIEW

I buy few novels these days, largely due to my limited reading time and just being a slow reader in general. I do, however, make an exception whenever a new Ramsey Campbell novel comes available. So, when I saw Fellstones (Flame Tree Publishing 2022) showed up for preorder, I purchased it without a second thought. […]

HALLOWEEN SUGGESTED READING LIST X (2022)

Every year since I began Horror Delve back in 2013 I’ve posted a suggested reading list for Halloween. As with each of these lists, not all of the stories are set during Halloween, but they all do evoke the feel of the holiday at their core (at least in my opinion). We have now arrived […]

FIVE TERRIFYING F. MARION CRAWFORD STORIES

Born in Tuscany in 1854, Francis Marion Crawford had dual Italian and American citizenship. He became a prominent novelist, many of the romance variety, as well as an essayist, historian and short story writer. It’s his horror stories which we are interested in looking at here today. He first came to my notice while I […]
