I've discovered a marvelous new side to an author I've known only as a writer of WW II spy novels. Manning Coles, who wrote a series of Tommy Hambledon spy novels in the 1940's & 1950's, also wrote ghost stories! Madcap, Wodehousian ghost stories, in which 2 members of the Latimer family are allowed to "return" (along with their claret-drinking pet monkey Ulysses) whenever a living family member is threatened. Sparkling dialogue, improbable plots, and lots of comedy!

Unfortunately they are only available AFAIK as pbooks published by Rue Morgue press.

I'm currently reading "Come and Go."
