Short Shocks Volume 1, by Andy Love. Gothic and chilling horrors

Martyn wrote: "Andy,
Is this not eleven; isn't 1 just shorthand for the word 'one'?"
Ha ha, thought someone might spot that "one".
As 1 is used here as numberical, is that not discounted from the word count? :-D
Should punctuations be excluded?:-D
It does raise debate about peoples perceptions of how much the mind inserts words and rules in between the original text. How specific do we take the written word? The power of suggestion by words? Interesting.
How's this?
Short Shocks Volume 1 Andy Love Gothic and chilling horrors
Doesn't look good with only words.
Thanks Martyn, maybe we could start this debate on another thread, how people perceive the written word. What do you think? Regards. Andy

One is gothic, one chilling; both horror?
