What a fascinating subject to base your Masters on. I wish you every success with it. You need to tell me more when you have time though - Why you chose to particularly focus on Blackwood's? How long you've been doing it for? What university? What degree? Nosy and intrusive I know but you've piqued my interest :o) Email me - rob@robaroundbooks.com, if you'd rather not be too public. I will of course track down and read every one of these stories (I'm plugging in the eReader as I type. Seriously I am. It's not true that guys can't multitask :o)), because I couldn't possibly ignore someone who's academically involved with them. Besides they all sound so deliciously gruesome *evil grin* Anyway thank you for taking the time to drop by, and thanks again for the recommendations. Hope to hear from you soon.

Especially interesting to see the many links between it and Poe's 'The Pit and the Pendulum'. I can recommend many more, but William Godwin Jr.'s 'The Executioner' is my personal favourite! Also see Maginn's 'The Man in the Bell' (another influence on Poe), 'The Buried Alive' by John Galt and 'The Spectre-Smitten' by Samuel Warren.
