Location: UK		I would have liked to scare the wits out of myself this year with Mark Z Danielewski's House of leaves but unfortunately (fortunately?) it is out on loan at the moment at the library,and I wont get it in time.. So I am going for a nice sedate collection of traditional ghost stories,M R James's Ghost Stories of an Antiquary,which includes the famous ''Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You,My Lad''
I was privileged way back in 1968 to see Jonathan Miller's wonderful TV adaptation with Michael Horden. There were some changes from the original story of course,but that scary scene on the beach had a stunning effect of viewers back then. No videos back then to record,of course,but it is etched firmly in my head even today.Of course,it is on YouTube these days,but nothing is like the effect of watching it on a small blurred black and white TV,with the lights out to even be able to SEE the picture!
