I've been preparing to read Dante's Inferno for several years now...  |

Getting geared up to read Vathek by William Beckford then The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg (I'm going through a Gothic Period at the moment). I've meant to read both of them for ages and am determined to do it before the end of the year.

Vathek's certainly a real goodie. I am fairly sure I've read Hogg but the contents slip my memory

I've recently discovered the joys of the Wordsworth Mystery and Supernatural editions and have been ploughing through them at a rate of knots. They are really quite wonderful and help to keep alive the works of some of the more obscure ghost story/ horror story/ strange fiction authors of the late 19th and early 20th century.
In particular I'd recommend The Temple of Death by AC & RH Benson (brothers of EF) and Uncanny Stories by May Sinclair.
They've also brought out a very nice edition that combines The Castle of Otranto/Nightmare Abbey/Vathek into one very affordable package.
At about £2.99 a throw (or thereabouts, though I think the Lovecraft and Howard collections that they do are about a fiver) it's hard to go wrong.
