Algernon Blackwood - The Man Whom The Trees Loved. Hard to explain why I love this one so much. I guess because it perfectly encapsulates Blackwood as a writer and because the premise is up there as one of the weirdest things ever. I‘m also 100% certain no other writer could have pulled it off the way Blackwood did. Thomas Ligotti - The Bungalow House. The story itself isn‘t even that good, but that tape… that freaking tape, man. It lives in my head rent-free. The hairs on my arms rise just thinking about it. Bernadro Esquinca - Pan‘s Noontide. Basically True Detective meets Machen‘s pagan horror. Esquincas writing is super economic and so he manages to press an absolutely insane amount of story into this small novella. Luigi Musolino - The Queen of the Sewers. Weird fiction based on Italian folklore and genuinely up there as one of the most frightening things I‘ve ever read. And I‘m pretty resilient when it comes to horror. Arthur Machen - The White People. Jarring to read, but an absolute classic. I‘ve never read
