Speaking of books as works of art, today’s #bookpost brings the fourth instalment of the fantastic #TheGhostBox edited by @pattonoswalt, just in time for Halloween. Dispatched from @hingstonolsen in Canada, it has arrived in Northern Ireland in record time!

Look at this beautiful thing! Ghost Box IV, edited by the one and only @pattonoswalt for @hingstonolsen, who make stunning books. Anyway, “I’m in here with Edith Wharton and Lord Dunsany” isn’t a thing I thought I’d ever say, but here we are. Thanks, Patton!

“Ghost Box IV” has finally arrived from @hingstonolsen and I’m betraying @pattonoswalt ‘s order of things to skip to @Gabino_Iglesias (I’m sure Lord Dunsany won’t be offended)
You didn’t really think it was dead, did you?
