Does anyone know where Ramsey's story "The Christmas Present" is available? I'm working on my fifth annual Christmas Horror stories article for Vintage Horror. I'm going to include snippets from stories by L.P. Hartley, E.F. Benson, M.R. James,and Charolett Riddell already and wanted to include a story by Ramsey. In the past I've included "The Chimney" and "A Calling Card". Any help tracking it down would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Forgot to add that it will also cover a story by J. Sheridan LeFanu. I'm excited about this one because M.R. James, LeFanu, E.F. Benson, and Hartley would all be just behind Ramsey in my top 5 favorite writers.

Is there no information on the bibliography section of the main site? I know it's not up to date but there's a hell of a lot of useful information there.

Ah, ok - just had a look there and can't find it, although that may just be the lateness of the hour (and the remnants of London Pride still swirling about my system!).

Matt- I believe the story appeared in Richard Dalby's anthology 'Ghosts For Christmas'. Which is available for a mere penny on Amazon, plus p&p (see link below.)

Hey Simon, thank you very much for this. I ordered a copy a few minutes ago! I tried searching online for where it might be found earlier and wasn't having any luck. Your assistance is much appreciated.
