The Best Horror of the Year: Volume Fourteen

THE CARTOUCHE by Walter de la Mare

A remarkable pair of elbow moments in my review today of Chapter XIV of Walter de la Mare’s THE RETURN…
Plus a strong synchronicity with my review yesterday of his novella AT FIRST SIGHT.

THE RETURN by Walter de la Mare

Some of my other remarkable synchronous findings in recent gestalt reviews –
