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

And don’t forget M.R. James!
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...
I'm unfamiliar with this story, but I look forward to listening to it now. Thanks for the recommendation!
You are very welcome, Jacquie- it's a good one and I hope you enjoy it.
Interesting thoughts, Chris. I look forward to listening to the story.
