New read: An excellent new anthology of ghost stories from the British Library's Tales of the Weird series. Plenty were new to me, with some old familiars thrown in too - fun!

The cover of a paperback book - "The Haunted Library: Tales of cursed books and forbidden shelves" edited by Tanya Kirk. The cover shows an illustration of a woman in a hat entering a library holding a candle to see some ghoulish figures in front of the shelves.

Any Edinburgh-adjacent weirdsters should pop into @argonautbooks.bsky.social to take advantage of their #TalesOfTheWeird ( @blpublishing.bsky.social ) sale and grab a spoooky tote to boot!

Book 52 of 2025 is "Dangerous Dimensions", part of the British Library's Tales of the Weird series and edited by Henry Bartholomew.

The cover of the book. The image is all in pink on a black background. A face above a hand which has all the wrong number of fingers, because there seem to be multiple versions of it overlapping but out of phase with each other. Shadow hands behind the head reach down towards their shoulder.

Book 50 of 2025 is "Return of the Ancients", part of the British Library's Tales of the Weird series and edited by Katy Soar.

The cover of the book. The image is all in yellow on a black background. A giant woman in a toga is raising her hands, standing above a burning castle-like building with telegraph posts. Half a dozen small people are silhouetted against the flames, while large doves fly around the woman. Her hair flies off in all directions, becoming constellations amid the stars of the night sky overhead.

Here we go! Early stock in the office of the July #TalesoftheWeird The Lost Stradivarius by J. Meade Falkner. A tale of a haunted Violin in Oxford 1842. Described as the novel M. R. James might have written. Sounds good right? Falkner is coming for you.
