The haunted Book.

I really whizzed through ths one and really enjoyed it. Jeremy Dyson, the unseen Fourth Man in the League Of Gentlemen team, has put together a series of short stories loosely based around actually weird events collected by a journalist who approached him with the very idea. the haunted book chronicles the journey Jeremy dyson took as he puts together this anthology of tales, as he finds elements of those weird events begin to throw shade across his own life. As though by stirring the pot of the supernatural he causes something to bubble to the surface.
             I realise it all sounds very meta and that could perhaps put someone off who is looking for a sound tale of terror. I do hope i have made it sound interesting because it really is and would entertain anyone who misses the old Pan supernatural anthologies or who enjoys the weird work off writers such as Robert Aickman. With extraordinary events nestling uncomfortably close to very ordinary ones, always a disturbing but thrilling mix. Well, more discomforting than thrilling but that always better with a strong cup of sweet tea.
            It also reminded me of some of the old seventies Amicus anthology, or portmanteau, movies. And off course Ghost Stories, the movie that Jeremy dyson wrote with Andy Nyman. It is a collection of stories steeped in unease which occasionally spills off in the pag in unexpected ways.
            I was a huge fan, still am, of The League Of Gentlemen and through it discovered Jeremy Dyson's earlier anthology Never Trust A Rabbit.
            Sound advice..I think..
