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.

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.

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).
