Insomnia

I don't often suffer from insomnia but this evening is the exception to the rule. I've made a cup of hot chocolate and looked out this book from my bookcase.

There's a short story that I loved as a child in this, called The Gargoyle, by Roger Mallison. It used to give me goosebumps, so I've just read it again. Sadly it's not as exciting as I remembered it to be, but it was a nice little bit of nostalgia for the early 80s (that collection of short stories was published in 1981).

I think I may give the other ghost stories in the book a miss. I don't want to exacerbate the insomnia!
