Smiley Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on March 28st, 2015 (00:30 A.M., March 29nd (GMT)), for a discussion of 1939 Quiz Night at the Jamaica Inn by Layla Cummins. The story was published in the March 6, 2015 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. This is the second SEP story in a row, but it is quite different from our previous excursions into the realm of slick popular fiction. The story is a not too horrible horror story, or perhaps a not very fantastic fantasy. I guess we all know that there is nothing more frightening than the British moors (of which those in Scotland are considered the most terrifying). This story takes place in and around the more mundane English variety. I couldn't help but flash back to my mental pictures of the moors as depicted in The H.ound of the Baskervilles or the first few scenes of the now somewhat camp film An American Werewolf in London. is This story, however, is much less bloody than either of those stories. I think that even those of our more sensitive literary critics will find the story benign enough for general audiences (Parental Guidance nor required). The story is available on line at: http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2015/03/06/post-fiction/contemporary-fiction-art-entertainment/quiz-night-jamaica-inn.html Meeting Place: Webchat: http://koach.com/cha...=readers_corner mIRC Users: /server -m chat3.koach.com:6667 -j #readers_corner Don't forget to bring a friend.
