moon_custafer: Doodle of a generic Penguin Books cover (penguin)
H. R. Wakefield is mainly remembered for his ghost stories, and for frustrating scholars of the genre by saying he’d had “over a hundred” published, of which only sixty or so are known, and nobody’s sure if he was exaggerating or if there are still a bunch out there.

Meanwhile, a lot of the stories in the anthologies I’ve downloaded aren’t stories, or even weird fiction or sff, at all. ‘Swim-Ease’ is a lightly comic novella about a woman attempting the first-ever cross-Atlantic swim, on behalf of a bathing-suit manufacturer. It’s a delight, and I wish some studio had turned it into a quota-quickie.

Ash-Tree Press, that makes sense.
