finding the stories online « Thread Started on Jan 20, 2007, 8:48am »
There doesn't seem to be enough of this stuff around for it to warrant its own section yet, so for the time being, we'll settle for a thread.
Charles has already put us on to the Price Of Fear dramatisation of Birkin's So Pale, So Cold, So Fair and all I've managed to find from Creeps so far is Mrs. Everett's The Crimson Blind.
Maurice Level's Night And Silence from the 'Not At Night's is also available from Horrormasters - indeed, you can download his Tales Of Mystery & Horror in its entirety - well worth reading.
radiolovers have a selection from Beyond Midnight which just so happens to include Something On His Mind - an adaptation of Oscar Cook's Piecemeal.
From the first, I set myself against "literature"; the story was the thing, and no amount of style could persuade me to select a story that lacked genuine, unadulterated horror. For those who wanted something high-brow there was plenty.
It was something unknown. I didn't know what it was. And then it didn't matter - it had killed me.

The tireless otzchiim at Horrabin Hall has posted Vera A. Gadd's Hillmount from Birkin's Tales Of Fear (1935). You'll need a Yahoo account to be able to read it though.

Frederick Stuart Greene - The Grim 13 « Reply #3 on Jun 30, 2007, 6:11am »
Pre-Not At Night and Creeps, but a very welcome download is the the Frederick Stuart Greene edited The Grim 13: Short Stories By Thirteen Authors Of Standing (1917):
Vance Thompson - The Day of Daheimus Dana Burnet - Rain Stacy Aumonier - Old Fags Conrad Richter - The Head of His House Vincent O'Sullivan - The Abigail Sheriff Memorial Ethel Watts Mumford - Easy Wadsworth Camp - The Draw-Keeper Richard Matthews Hallet - The Razor of Pedro Dutel Robert Alexander Wason - Knute Ericson’s Celebration Mrs. Belloc Lowndes - The Parcel Will Levington Comfort and H. A. Sturtzel - Back O’ The Yards William Ashley Anderson - The End of the Game Frederick Stuart Greene - The Black Pool
Apparently, the stories all have one thing in common: they were rejected by every publisher they'd been offered to and usually on account of their unhappy endings. You can download the entire collection as a html page from the excellent Munseys (formerly Black Mask).
