Rosemary Pardoe (editor): GHOSTS AND SCHOLARS 10

Cheshire, The Haunted Library, 1988. First Edition. Fine magazine wraps. This highly influential specialty publisher cultivated many authors who embraced the traditional ghost story, many of whom went on to wider fame and still devoted to ghost stories in the manner of M. R. James. This issue features new ghost stories and weird tales by Weighell (art by Nick Maloret) and Roger Johnson (art by Allen Koszowski). Geoffrey K. Nelson contributes an essay on Jamesian ghost story writer M. P. Dare (1902-1962), with other nonfiction by David Rowlands, Mike Ashley, Rosemary Pardoe, Jan Arter, Richard Dalby, and others. Cover by Alan Hunter for "A Warning to the Curious" and back cover by Jim Pitts for "Count Magnus," and other artists.
