A big Hello to all of you inhabiting the Fortean Zone
I'm currently indulging myself with Victorian and Victorian-influenced Ghost Stories - short stories, novels, plays, films - anything really!
Some favourites that have come to mind are:
"The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James
"The Woman in Black" by Susan Hill (play by Stephen Mallatrat) (film by Herbert Wise)
"The Others" film by Alejandro Amenabar
Basically I love Ghost Stories, but with most I don't get too involved - but I found "The Others" and the play of "The Woman in Black" scared the hell out of me....even now the image of the Woman in Black from the play puts the fear up me big time...:eek!!!!:
What I'd love to hear back from you all is any comments on the above works - or even better, about other works of the same genre or style, especially ones that really get to you!
Thanks for the chills in advance
