The Call

Fiction ~ short story
Published in Radio Times, 17th December 1926
Reprinted in The Technique of the Ghost Story, 1993







THE CRITICS
The travesty of a relationship in [The Corner House] contrasts with the affectionate couple portrayed in another, unusually gentle yet effective story, The Call. (But as Jack Adrian informs us in the collection The Face, The Call appeared in the 1926 issue of The Radio Times, the week before Christmas. This might explain its mellower, almost-feel-good flavour!)
~Alexis Lykiard. Quoted from his review of Ash-Tree Press' The Face, first published in All Hallows magazine, 10/2003
