Ghost Story Society

Ghost Story Society

The Ghost Story Society is a not-for-profit literary society whose members share an interest in supernatural fiction. Founded in Britain in 1988, it currently has an international membership and is administered by joint organizers Christopher Roden and Barbara Roden, owners of Ash-Tree Press, with the assistance of David G. Rowlands, Richard Dalby, Jan Arter, and Roger Dobson.

The society produces the journal "All Hallows", which features new ghostly fiction, along with studies of the works and lives of such authors of classic ghost stories as M. R. James, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Algernon Blackwood, H. Russell Wakefield, E. F. Benson, and A. N. L. Munby, as well as more recent authors such as Robert Aickman, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Terry Lamsley, and Jonathan Aycliffe. It also includes detailed reviews and notices of recent ghostly publications and films, letters from members, and a column by Ramsey Campbell. "All Hallows" received the 2003 International Horror Guild Award for best periodical. [ [http://www.horroraward.org/prevrec.html#2003 IHG Award Recipients: 2003] ]
