[j. d. worthington]

Connovar... that's a little difficult to say, as his horror, as I noted, "creeps up on you", especially with the blending of horror and grotesque humor... But I think I'd suggest "Green Tea", "Carmilla", "Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter" (this last from The Purcell Papers, vol. 2, on Gutenberg), "Mr. Justice Harbottle" (and perhaps its mirror-image, "Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street") for the pure ghostly tales, and "The Child that Went with the Fairies" and "Stories of Lough Guir" for tales that rely on folkloric motifs...
