Last Year At Marienbad... what a great film! heh heh. I will have to check out the Ramsey Campbell story for sure now... and thank you for these lists. It's good food for doing the Bradbury thing of "one short story, one essay, one poem" before bed. Oh, and if you haven't heard it, check out the Nurse With Wound album Echo Poeme Sequence No. 2. It was inspired by the film.

Recent stories for me have been "Farewell, My Brother" and "The Enormous Radio" by John Cheever.

Borges, O. Henry and Saki are all authors who have influenced my fiction writing.

Thom Jones died in 2016. A great loss. https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/postscript-thom-jones
