The Dermis Probe

Idries Shah

A serious, yet entertaining, look at the impediments in current thought which prevent certain forms of understanding between people. The title story was made into an award-winning film with script by Idries Shah, and chosen as an Outstanding Film of the Year.

The Dermis Probe comprises a collection of extracts from the written and oral tradition of Eastern thinkers. In his preface, Shah notes, ‘In this book you can find illustrated some of the peculiarities of thought in the country which is today’s world, seen by its inhabitants and by those who call themselves visitors.’

The Stone Child

Matthew Francis

‘The Stone Child’ is a tie-in with my (unpublished novel) The Hole in the World, so it takes place in the same world and has two of the same characters. However, you don’t need to read the novel to understand what’s going on here (which is good, ’cause you can’t read The Hole in the World yet). You can read a bit about the world in these two previous blog posts: ‘Using science to imagine a fantasy world’ and ‘Why set a fantasy novel on another planet?

The plot concerns Mik-Lam, a young person with a helpful reputation, who suddenly finds emself confronted with a situation where there might not be anyone who can help: an invader from the Nightmare World who seems to hold power over minds and death itself. [Possible content warnings: a parent near death, two brief scenes involving gender-related bigotry, parasitic fungi.]

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Robert Louis Stevenson (MPowered Project)

Robert Louis Stevenson’s masterpiece of the duality of good and evil in man’s nature sprang from the darkest recesses of his own unconscious—during a nightmare from which his wife awakened him, alerted by his screams.

More than a hundred years later, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner persona—the loathsome, twisted Mr Hyde—has lost none of its ability to shock.

Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Jekyll’s desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul—and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us.

The Wendigo

Algernon Blackwood

Algernon Blackwood’s classic tale, The Wendigo, is an influential novella by one of the best-known writers of fantasy and horror, set in a place and time Blackwood knew well.

It tells the story of a camping trip in the Canadian wilderness that goes horribly wrong when the hunters become the hunted. Drawing on the mythical creature known as the Wendigo, this story is regarded by many critics to be one of the best horror tales of all time.

The Monkey’s Paw, and Other Macabre Tales

W.W. Jacobs

Many people have encountered the story The Monkey’s Paw, anthologised nearly 70 times in horror collections alone. Most do not know, however, that its author, W.W. Jacobs, was an immensely popular writer from the 1890s through the Second World War, selling many tens of thousands of copies of his 13 short story collections. His craftsmanship was admired by such authors as G.K. Chesterton and Evelyn Waugh.

Jacobs mostly wrote humorous short stories about humble seafaring folk, but The Monkey’s Paw is by no means his only tale of the macabre. This collection contains 7 stories with subjects including haunted houses, vengeful ghosts, and guilty murderers.

AfterLife

Sara Ferrando Estarlich

It’s a supernatural fantasy, I wrote it when I was 15 and my parents self-published it (I did not want them to do that but they ignored me). The book is about a family who moves into a house where a ghost couple lives. But it’s not horror, not at all. Plus, I don’t think there’s an obvious plot, the plot only manifests itself towards the end. You can split it, I initially wrote it as a series of short stories.

Possible things that may turn you off, or that you may like: more dialogue than narration, a few LGBT+ characters, an overarching mystery of sorts and ‘light incest’. I always get carried away with plots and characters, so what seems like a small story is definitely going to explode towards the end.

As for me, I’m a girl from Spain with unusually good self-taught English skills. I cannot write in my own language, and I have zero control over my own hyperactive imagination, meaning my characters basically control everything.
