This thread is for nominations and voting on stories for inclusion in the October-December reads in this group. Please feel free to draw on the ongoing brainstorming thread for nominations, but don't limit yourself to items discussed there.
As in past rounds, any story that gets more "No" than "Yes" votes won't make the cut; otherwise they'll be prioritized according to net-yes-minus-no, and the final list will be in OPD sequence. Ties will be broken in favor of author and period variety.
To propose a story for voting, place the title and author between HTML-style angle-bracket tags. The open tag says vote (in brackets); the close tag says /vote (ditto). Multiple polls need multiple posts. If you put the name of the author in double square brackets, it will make it a linked "touchstone" for the LT database, and first publication dates of nominated stories are appreciated. Also welcome are remarks about the story, the author, and your nomination motives, and/or a link to an online version.
You can see a sortable list of all previous discussions here. A persistent brainstorming thread is here. Nominations repeating old discussions will be disqualified, but revival of dormant discussion threads is always welcome. "That is not dead which can eternal lie," etc.
VOTING is scheduled to END on the Autumn Equinox: Tuesday, September 22.

We seem to have a bit of a dearth of nominations, so I thought I'd throw in a couple late ones.Referenced in Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter War which we did last spring. Online e.g. here.
(I note incidentally that Dunsany's "The Men of Yarnith" seems to be misisng from the list of previous discussions: we did it in Winter '14.)

I'll add up the votes in the morning, so please make sure you've voted for all the ones that you want to.

In case it changes anyones vote, I was remiss in not pointing out that "The Signal-Man" is available online.

I've captured the vote totals, and I'll post results soon.
