free download from Gutenberg or Archive.com which are also listed in
the 1978 Bleiler Checklist. Content codes there are omitted (great
system, but hard to explain in less than a page) but collections are
marked with a C unless obvious. I hope to do this once a week; my list
is finished.
I hope you feel adventurous and read some of these.

Read this one. Classic. Recommended.

Have this. Several good ghost stories.
> Crawford, Francis Marion � Cecilia (1902)
> Khaled (1891)
Read this one in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series edition. Arabian
Nights type story. Pretty good.
> Man Overboard (1903)

These two would be horror story collections, I believe. I reviewed
Crawford's collected horror stories in Necrofile. Good stuff.

Read this in (presumably) a different translation, along with the sequel
voyage to the sun. Blistering satire, quite hilarious. Very highly
recommended.

how few I have actually read, but I will throw in that Samuel R.
Crockett's The Black Douglas is a very good historical witchcraft
piece which I picked up at a Smith College scholarship book sale a few
years ago.

Off this particular topic, do you still sell your CD of obscure
stories you have found over the years?

Sorry about not looking in here for a while. No real excuse, just
somewhat busy but mostly lazy. I will try to get more books and an
old story up tonight.
Um, no, not right now. I wanted to expand it (there's a LOT of room
on a CD-ROM) but I keep deciding to prepare more books instead of
finishing what I have in all four formats that I want to have books
in. One of these days. I should cut down on the number of projects
and promises in the air. I'm not really obligated after September
12th -- no, wait, there's the Baltimore Book Festival -- and when is
Capclave?
