The titular 'Tetherstones' in a story by Ethel M Dell, published in The Strand Magazine, June 1923. Needless to say, the Tetherstones are weird and creepy with an uncanny reputation. The name refers to the human sacrifices who were tethered to them (of course)! #StandingStoneSunday #BookChatWeekly

In 1902 'The Strand Magazine' serialized 'The Psammead' by Edith Nesbit. On book publication it was renamed 'Five Children and It' (not to be confused with killer clown). Here the youngest of the five tries to make friends with the bad-tempered hobgoblin. #BookWormSat #BookChatWeekly #fairystories

"The baby lay wide awake in its crib, staring with deep, sharp blue eyes. 'It's not nice being afraid of the thing you birthed.' Her whisper lowered. 'He lies there, listens to us talking, waiting for you to go away so he can try to kill me again!' #WyrdWednesday #RayBradbury #BookChatWeekly

Try and get hold of a copy of 'House Mother Normal' by B S Johnson (1971) if you can. Set in an old people's home, it's one of the most original, gruesome, hilarious black comedies I've read - and with an ending so shocking and disgusting even I didn't see it coming. #WyrdWednesday #BookChatWeekly

"She wore her yellow sun-bonnet She wore her greenest gown; She turned to the south wind And curtsied up and down. She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head, And whispered to her neighbour: 'Winter is dead.'" A A Milne #Beltane #BookChatWeekly

1970s spooky anthologies published by William Kimber, such as these two I have, are becoming quite collectible, especially those with 'wraparound' dust jackets by Ionicus. And no wonder - they look great. #PhantomsFriday #BookChatWeekly #booksky #illustrators

Final post of the goodies to be found in the June 1940 edition of the Strand Magazine. This one is Michael Arlen's yarn 'Gay Falcon'. Only one story was written featuring this character but it spawned a couple of films starring George Sanders. The illustration is by R M Chandler. #BookChatWeekly

"As to being in a fright, Allow me to remark That ghosts have just as good a right, In every way, to fear the light As men to fear the dark." "No plea," said I, "can well excuse Such cowardice in you...." - Lewis Carroll, "Phantasmagoria" 🎨Arthur B. Frost #BookWormSat #BookChatWeekly
