At some point I’ll do a proper post on Walter de la Mare (1873–1956), author of long-time fave Memoirs of a Midget.
For now I want to include de la Mare in the “October special” feature on masters of the macabre. I wrote about his story “Seaton’s Aunt” for a feature on horror at The Second Pass. (I had no idea John Crowley would also be part of that feature!)

(Note: I work for Paul Dry Books, who publish reprints of Memoirs of a Midget and de la Mare’s Desert Islands. Hence I sadly speak from a position of authority—brooding over sales figures—when I claim him to be a Writer No One Reads.)
