HALLOWEEN SUGGESTED READING LIST XII (2024)

Greetings from the ghoul-haunted halls of Horror Delve. The twelfth annual Halloween Suggested Reading List now looms before us. As with each year’s list, these stories don’t necessarily take place during Halloween but do evoke the feel of the season and are, of course, very spooky. I hope reading them helps increase your enjoyment of […]

SEVEN MORE ANNA TABORSKA HORROR STORIES

I’ve previously written about Anna Taborska a few times here at Horror Delve. Back in 2020, I took a look at 10 of her short horror stories ( https://horrordelve.com/2021/02/23/ten-terrifying-tales-of-anna-taborska/ ). Then in 2022 I reviewed her story collection Bloody Britain ( https://horrordelve.com/2022/02/08/bloody-britain-by-anna-taborska-review/ ). Needless to say, I’m a fan of her work and felt it […]

HALLOWEEN SUGGESTED READING LIST XI (2023)

Welcome back, my fellow horror fans! October is upon us yet again and that means it’s time for another installment of Horror Delve’s Halloween Suggested Reading List. The vast majority of this year’s tales involve Halloween in their narratives and the few which don’t, definitely still evoke the proper feel of the season. So, give […]

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 […]

CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY READING LIST X (2022)

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 […]

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 […]

BLOODY BRITAIN BY ANNA TABORSKA REVIEW

Last February I looked at ten short stories by Anna Taborska (https://horrordelve.com/2021/02/23/ten-terrifying-tales-of-anna-taborska/), some of them from her 2020 Bram Stoker Award nominated collection Bloody Britain. I enjoyed those stories so much I decided to read and review that book in its entirety. Reading through these stories, it’s easy to see why the collection was nominated […]

TEN TERRIFYING TALES BY ANNA TABORSKA

Hailing from the U.K., Anna Taborska studied Experimental Psychology at Oxford University. Afterward, she worked in the fields of public relations, journalism and advertising. The move she made to filmmaking and television proved a successful one, seeing her direct and work on a wide variety of films, documentaries and television productions. Her one-hour television drama […]

TERROR TALES OF THE LAKE DISTRICT ANTHOLOGY REVIEW

I reviewed the Terror Tales of the Seaside anthology edited by Paul Finch last year after reading it while on vacation. I’ve recently returned from another vacation, this time having read another in the Terror Tales series. This one takes us to England’s Lake District. As before, Paul has interspersed local legends and mysteries of […]
