Friday. Been saving this @troublebrewing.ie Fire & Labour for cooler weather; perfect to pair with what just arrived from @crumpledlinenpress.com. Early for spooky season? Never…
I just want to congratulate @crumpledlinenpress.com on nailing the most frustrating part of buying beautiful books - the packaging meant this M R James book arrived absolutely mint.
Arrived today from @crumpledlinenpress.com! It pleases me to be the alphabetically last supporter credited in it. (There are apparently some anonymous ones not listed, but I feel pretty confident I would have beaten them out for the position.)
A very, very, very delightful person right now.... From @crumpledlinenpress.com #mrjames #folkhorrorweek #folkhorror #ohwhistleandillcometoyoumylad #ghoststory
Look what arrived today! Absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to sit down and read it! @crumpledlinenpress.com
Who is this who is coming? The postman, that's who. Hugely looking forward to reading this, @crumpledlinenpress.com
Arrived yesterday and in perfect condition despite being posted through the letterbox. A beautiful book from @crumpledlinenpress.com Oh, Whistle And I'll Come To You, My Lad. Annotated manuscripts of MR James. I shall enjoy reading this, but only during the daylight hours.
We've now shipped 90% of the rewards and copies are arriving on doormats. Check your email for a tracking number for Royal Mail. And let us know what you think when it arrive!
Charles Prepolec@sherlockeditor.bsky.social · 2mo agoReceived the signed limited 1st Vol of The Haunted Archive: The Annotated Ghost Story Manuscripts of M. R.

Jon Dies At The End@accordingtojond.bsky.social · 2mo agoLook what’s arrived!! Paul Chapman and @doingsofdoyle.com’s magical annotated edition of MR James’s Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come To You, My Lad! Stunning work.
90 years ago today, M.R. James passed away in the Lodge at Eton College. It is as the father of the modern ghost story that we chiefly remember and admire him. We hope The Haunted Archive, in some small way, commemorates his lasting contribution to the genre. #MRJames #ghoststories
