'tis (still) the Season, and that means ghost stories are in order. Any of you fine anons enjoying classic English ghost stories every Christmas as well?
M. R. James was a Biblical scholar and author, considered the master of the English ghost story. All his ghost stories are available here: https://thin-ghost.org/collections/show/2
His first collection of ghost stories: https://archive.org/details/thinghostothers00jameiala (sepia) & https://archive.org/details/athinghostandot00jamegoog (b&w)
A Podcast to the Curious began covering all of James' ghost stories, and has since gone on to cover ghost stories in the Jamesian vein: http://www.mrjamespodcast.com/

E. F. Benson was a contemporary of James, and, like James he attended King's College, Cambridge and was a member of the Pitt Club. Benson came from a great literary family and published numerous books, including several collections of ghost spook stories, which are available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20180320201227/https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/b/benson/ef/
Spook Stories by E. F. Benson: https://archive.org/details/spookstories00bensuoft
The Sanctuary by E. F. Benson (Online Text): http://archive.vn/uOzlf / https://web.archive.org/web/20190610063130/http://www.steve-calvert.co.uk/public-domain-texts/e-f-benson-the-sanctuary.html

Only read two stories by Swain, I think, The Man With the Roller, which was covered on A Podcast to the Curious, and Bone to His Bone. The first was too much like James' story The Mezzotint, but without the weird ghostly figure and a rather blant climax.
After James I think I have enjoyed Benson & Malden's ghost stories the most. Malden in particular is very close to James in tone, subjects and climax. Benson has some very fine stories as well, though he has written so many stories you are found to come across some bland ones as well.
I would recommend seven of Malden's ghost stories; The Coxswain of the Lifeboat & The Priest's Brass did nothing for me, but the other stories are great. In particular I enjoyed The Dining-room Fireplace & The Sundial.
As for Benson, I would probably rate these the highest: The Room in the Tower, Caterpillars, The Thing in the Hall, The Outcast, Negotium Perambulans, "And No Bird Sing", The Temple & The Sanctuary.

Not typically associated with the typical ghost story, but John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, wrote some eerie weird stories as well, and H. P. Lovecraft spoke highly of these in his essay Supernatural Horror in Literature:
<In the novel Witch Wood John Buchan depicts with tremendous force a survival of the evil Sabbat in a lonely district of Scotland. The description of the black forest with the evil stone, and of the terrible cosmic adumbrations when the horror is finally extripated, will repay one for wading though the very gradual action and plenthora of Scottish dialect. Some of Mr. Buchan's short stories are also very vivid in their spectral intimations; "The Green Wildebeest", a tale of African witchcraft, "The Wind in the Portico", with its awakening of dead Britanno-Roman horrors, and "Skule Skerry", with its touches of sub-arctic fright, being especially remarkable.

It's better to take The Stoneground Ghost tales as one light mystery book rather than as multiple horror short stories. The book generally centers around one minister at one church, so you can't exactly have him die or go mad at the end of each story. The book is overall designed to be more subtle, contemplative, and cozy than the James circle's usual fare, but the fact that M.R. James himself enjoyed it is a decent sign that it's worth a read so long as you understand that it's a bit different in tone from something like Ghost Stories of an Antiquary.

Talking about the James Gang, there is also Arthur Gray & Christopher Woodforde (https://archive.vn/erqL / https://web.archive.org/web/20200120040235/http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~pardos/ArchiveWoodforde.html), though I am wholly unfamiliar with them at present. From what I have read Woodforde's stories were written for children, so they, too, lack that extra punch/horror.

M. P. Dare's Fatal Oak was too similar to James' The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral for my taste. Barchester is a reference to the fictional place where some (or most?) of Anthony Trollope's novels are set. His novel Doctor Thorne (set in Barchester) was one of the books I got for Christmas; I have already seen the 2016 adaptation by Julian Fellowes, but Trollope really goes in-depth with the place and the characters.
Benson has some rather graphic scenes of horror in his stories, and Dare surprises too, with some quite nasty scenes, but hasn't yet given me that "pleasing terror" James did with some of his finest stories.

Finished M. P. Dare's ghost story collection, Unholy Relics and other Uncanny Tales, yesterday, and I thought it was a fine collection of ghostly tales, nicely bridging the gap between M. R. James & E. G. Swain. It has the same antiquarian touches and characters of James' stories, and the same two characters figure in each tale like the protagonist in Swain's stories.

These stories have a very cosy, comfy setting with these two bachelors of independent means who reside in a Leicestershire manor-house together with their two man-servants ("the Apostles", James & John) and can go about researching whatever catches their interest. Like Holmes & Watson they share a manor-house together and are frequently called out to examine some archaeological find or architectural curiosity and end up encountering ghosts (or "thought-forms") and other supernatural phenomena because of their curiosity. I wish there had been more punch to the horrors they encounter/experience in their researches to contrast the cosiness. The Haunted Drawers is a nice, mostly comedic tale, and The Nymph Still Lives is an entirely pleasant tale free of any horror whatsoever; The Forgotten Italian is limp and lifeless, and The Beam is just another variant of the Fatal Oak plot, i.e. James' The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral.
I very much enjoyed the description of the countryside in An Abbot's Magic; truly great stuff, very atmospheric. Sadly the payoff is very weak indeed; just the ghostly apparition of an abbot accused of alchemy!

Anyone who prefers the less ghastly tales à la E. G. Swain to the more grim ghost stories of H. R. Wakefield will likely enjoy M. P. Dare's collection of ghost stories a lot. While the collection has yet to pass into Public Domain it is up on the Internet Archive, so be sure to DL if it you want it, lest they take it down. The original edition is probably no easy to come by, and the Ash-Tree Press re-print might be even harder to track down, and is no doubt rather expensive.

I have never in my life read a single book through to the end, my way of reading a book is that of a highly talented page turner, that is of a person who would rather turn the pages than read, who therefore turns dozens, or at times hundreds, of pages before reading a single one; but when this person does read a page he reads it more thoroughly than anyone and with the greatest reading passion imaginable. I am more of a page turner than a reader, you should know, and I love turning pages just as much as reading, I have, in my life, turned pages a million times more often than I have read them, and always derived from turning pages at least as much pleasure and real intellectual enjoyment as from reading.

Ladies and Gentlemen I welcome you to the first /lit/ty club thread. We will be accepting nominations and then whatever is nominated is put through a randomizer and selected.
A FEW RULES
1. You must provide a torrent or link to your selected text
2. The beginning of each month is a longer format and lasts throughout the month
3. It's good to have a little epitaph as to why you selected this book.

This month's theme is Tragedy. It can be any length, any time period, any author.

My first nom. is 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane
>4.48 Psychosis sees the ultimate narrowing of Sarah Kane's focus in her work. The struggle of the self to remain intact has moved in her work from civil war, into the family, into the couple, into the individual, and finally into the theatre of phychosis: the mind itself. This play was written in 1999 shortly before the playwright took her own life at age 28.

Alright folks everyone here's probably seen/heard/read about tribulations Gahoole's gone through so I figured now's as good a time as any to thingify up and quorum as to the future of the board.

/lit/'s activity has stabilized to a level that's quite preferable for BO like myself (p. quiet moast ov time, long stretches between replies, general solid contributive effort and poast quality overall as consequence) and the only thing I would personally like to change about that is curating literary werks frum board populace to distribute accordingly to masses/uninitiated/non-littified lachrymose lackolytes ov smellin wat the rock's cookin.

This is why I am announcing the launch of the /LIT/TYZEN'S FEUILLETON - a conglomerated selection ov /lit/ty submissions and quality poasts frum the board published every 4 months ean stripped down, minimalist format focusean awn text transmitted, gnawt impetuousness acquitted by niftiness oar committed 2 obsequious butterbawlean ov present day curator (aka ur cicisbeo BO, mie %^> )

Potential (perpetuity'd) pieces for the /LIT/TYZEN'S FEUILLETON include:

- Excerpts from current standing of the "/lit/ writes a novel thread"
- Excerpts from any recent progress on a /lit/ board project
- Board defining poasts or threads, transcribed in their entirety/includean relevant image poastings
- Anything you desire to transmit to [email protected] that passes behe/lit/ty /lit/muster test

The plan is to have a larger, free-wheeling document snapshotting poastings/contributions @ the time of inception as opposed 2 focused sifting for "literary" logorrhea value OR holistic proprietorship of literary media proffered 2 public - feel free to submit werks u would submit 2 other places or have submitted before.

If anyone has requests/complaints/critiques about the board/the mag/etc., poast'm here. More information will be coming sewn about deadlines for first issue but eye'd want it aot there by January 2021 @ latest.

Billy And The Clown is an overlooked work of legitimate historic merit. During the live narration debut of this work MDE's Sam Hyde proclaimed it to be a long studied legend of uncertain origin, intended to be featured in what turned out to be the groups first and only print publication which for various reasons in this instance shall remain unnamed. Neither of these assertions turned out to be true.

Billy And The Clown is an overlooked work of legitimate historic merit. During the live narration debut of this work MDE's Sam Hyde proclaimed it to be a long studied legend of uncertain origin, intended to be featured in what turned out to be the groups first and only print publication which for various reasons in this instance shall remain unnamed. Neither of these assertions turned out to be true.

Today overshadowed by the tragedy/memes/comeuppance visited on the creative minds behind Billy And The Clown, the work has become widely disregarded, if known at all, by academia and the culture at large. This is an injustice to both the the wider public and to the post-ironic modern bildungsroman, crypto-genius genre-bending cultural satire, and performative monologue itself, that is Billy And The Clown. Not only is the work extremely complex thematically and comedically, but the manner in which it captures and brings to life an element of experience known to many that may be wholly unique to the modern psyche is singular in nature. In a way the story of Billy And The Clown is the story of all of us, and therefore possibly one of contemporary literature's (if not greatest, and if not good,) only modern great American novels.

This is something that has to be done. Thus here proposed is the beginning of a public work: The Literary Analysis of Billy And The Clown.

For those interested and therefore intending to review the work again, or perhaps unfamiliar with the work entirely, I've found a re-upload of the original event in it's entirety (stranger's channel). I recommend this version over the more widely available abridged videos as the periodic ~13 minute intervals of Hyde's coughing, snorting, shouting at his computer and surroundings, or simply leaving the desk and room the camera is stationed in for multiple indeterminate periods of time, as well as the presumably unchoreographed musical interlude dancing to the entirety of 'Clubbed To Death' by Rob Dougan are as much an integral part of the full experience as any other.

Here's the first 30 pages or so of the transcript, Ill work on it later when I have more free time. Its just such a process, you know.

Has anyone ever reached out to Sam to see if he still has the original story saved? The stream is closer to a decade old, so who knows.

After I type everything out I was going to also have an edited vrsion that is the story without any of sam's commentary.

I have saved you several years paying for bullshit.

Oh, also, the most important part, learn to get really upset about other people taking part in making up bullshit, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with your bullshit.

What if I wanted to "read history"? Is there like a 200 page book that'll fill me in?

200 pages!? Why inconvenience yourself?
All you gotta know is that absolutely NOBODY can, without a shadow of a doubt, tell you about our origin story, without making somebody else upset.
I mean you've got Africa, India, Europe, Antarctica, shifting tectonics, ALIENS, jews, ???, the moon, goopy poop, and 'whatever current subsuperpower wants to be world superpower at the moment that all of a sudden found a whole bunch of stuff that indicates they're the first and best'. That's a lot! Thankfully though, 'subsuperpower that wants to be superpower' has been shown to be the most likely in this age, so, for now, it's settled science!
As for the rest of it? It doesn't matter anyway thanks to postmodernism I mean nihilism. Make it up! We've been doing it for, at bare minimumm (depending on how you define 'rewriting'), a little over a century now, because SOMEBODY didn't get the joke originally, and has been throwing a hissy fit ever since.
Of course, maybe you want to fit in with your peers, in which case, just talk about your favorite music, or what useless things you bought recently instead! Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to hear 'smart talk', it's boring and my attention span only lasts a few seconds before I need to talk about something I saw on social media so I can feel empowered and comfortable!
