Today's valuable lesson: Doesn't matter how true it is, doesn't matter how sad you and your protagonist are that the character's dead. As an epitaph, eaten by ghouls is a guaranteed mood-breaker.

I've read The Red Thumb Mark and didn't like it terribly well. But I have my eye out for others--in particular, I'd like to find a short story collection, because I think his prose style might suit me better in shorter doses.

There's a Dover reprint (from the old Dover Publications) with "The Stoneware Monkey" and some other shorter works.

Well, stone the crows.

I have The Stoneware Monkey--I'd forgotten about it entirely until you mentioned it. However, though it's Dover (published in 1987), it's only TSM, not a collection.

I'll have to give it a go after I finish with Inspector French's Greatest Case
