Alison Littlewood is a horror author from Yorkshire, England who’s penned several novels and short stories over the past couple decades.

10 MORE E. F. BENSON EERIE TALES

E. F. Benson has long been one of my favorite ghost story/weird fiction writers. His expansive index of spooky tales are as diverse as they are inventive. Although he’s not been entirely forgotten these days, I do feel he’s under-appreciated and deserves to be considered among the all time greats alongside Campbell, Blackwood, and Lovecraft. […]

FREE READING OF “CHRISTMAS WINE” SHORT STORY

This past week I was honored to have legendary podcaster and literary historian Jim Moon perform a reading of my short story “Christmas Wine” on his Great Library of Dreams podcast. I’ve long been a fan Jim’s podcasts, so it was extra-cool to hear him read a story of mine. As for the story itself, […]

MORE GUY DE MAUPASSANT MACABRE TALES

A few years back I took a look at six short horror stories by legendary French author Guy de Maupassant (1850 – 1892). That post is available by clicking this link: https://horrordelve.com/2014/06/05/guy-de-maupassant/ . Since it’s been awhile, I decided it was high time to return to more works by him. The Stories: 1. “The Hand” […]

Terror Tales of Cornwall Review

I’ve often before mentioned my love for the Terror Tale series of horror anthologies edited by Paul Finch. I’ve already posted reviews of three other volumes here – each focusing on a different part of the U.K. – Terror Tales of the Seaside ( https://horrordelve.com/2018/05/07/terror-tales-of-the-seaside-review/ ), Terror Tales of the Lake District ( https://horrordelve.com/2019/04/08/terror-tales-of-the-lake-district-anthology-review/ ), […]

BLACK SPIRITS AND WHITE BY RALPH ADAMS CRAM

I recently read a post by fellow horror blogger Jay Rothermel ( https://jayrothermel.blogspot.com/search?q=Ralph+Adams+cram ) where he looked at a couple stories by Ralph Adams Cram, and it got me thinking about my own love of Cram’s stories. Several years back I posted about the stories Cram included in his collection Black Spirits and White back […]

TERROR TALES OF THE SEASIDE REVIEW

Terror Tales of the Seaside is an anthology edited by Paul Finch, published by Gray Friar Press in 2013, that combines both fiction stories as well as classic myths and legends of the British seasides. I read this book while vacationing on a beach (sadly not in England, however) which set the perfect atmosphere for […]

MORE ALGERNON BLACKWOOD

I recently ran a poll listing 10 classic horror writers here at Horror Delve. After 139 votes were counted, Algernon Blackwood narrowly defeated M.R. James to claim the title of Horror Delve’s Favorite Classic Horror Writer (https://horrordelve.com/2016/04/09/and-the-winner-is/). I’ve covered several of his stories already (https://horrordelve.com/2013/09/22/algernon-blackwood/), but with his prolific output, there’s still plenty more to […]
