The Lurking Fear story is a lot better than the Full Moon pictures effort-one of the weaker film adaptations of Lovecraft

Never seen the film, i've noticed though that his stories don't translate well to film or at least no one's done a good enough job with one. Still havent seen Call of Cthulhu yet though and i hear that's pretty accurate.

A pretty entertaining noir thriller from the 70s called "An Affair of Sorcerers," that features a dwarf private detective named Mongo.
Fun reading, nothing heavy. |

Now, for Halloween, I'm reading --- heh --- something called THE MONSTER CLUB. Slightly humorous, maybe a little absurd, but it doesn't get in the way of the drama, action, or creepy factor.

Hey sfear- great to see you here again!
Currently reading a recent collection of 4 novellas by Stephen King called Full Dark, No Stars. I've finished the first novella and I'm half way through the second, and I must say, when King is "on" there's no mystery why he's one of the best selling authors of all time. I've read some of his works that I found kind of disappointing, but when he's good, he's really really good. This book is really, really good. |

Just got down with The Woman by Jack Ketchum and Lucky McKee. This has got to be one of the best books I've read in a while. If you haven't read it you should really check it out.

The Ebethusa by an indie author called Solomon Strange- it's pretty unusual, a science fiction story with a ghostly theme. It's bloody good.

There have been a few good adaptations well at least I think they are good-Dagon, The Dunwich Horror (1969), The Resurrected, From Beyond and of course Call Of Cthulhu which was a pure labour of love.

I hated Dagon. Not because the movie itself was bad but the acting and the characters were terrible.
