The Wendigo and the John Silence tales are also very much worth reading if you liked The Willows.

Thanks- and agreed! I was going to mention The Windigo and one from the John Silence book but not enough time, Ironically, Lovecraft mentions both in his essay- sort of adding to my point about his formative critical influence. Given my present writing/editing, I found it amusing that Lovecraft criticized the John Silence character as being too much the detective bent :D

When one needs to relax the mind and hands, one can find his tales done as BBC’s Ghost Stories for Christmas. Just an Internet search away.

Thanks! I have heard so much about old M.R. You are right, I really should make time to do some reading, when more time is available...
