This thread is for nominations and voting on stories for inclusion in the January-March 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.
A useful resource for general bibliography info including OPD and inclusion in collections is ISFDB.
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 Winter Solstice: Monday, December 21.

Since we have so few nominees right now, a late nomination isn't hopeless!
I'll be tallying the votes on Monday.

Let's throw in a couple more stories from The Weird:Apparently published posthumously (Carter died in 1992), I haven't read this, but the Vandermeers characterize it as "perhaps the most evocative expression of the weird in her short fiction".
