KILLING PATTON by Bill O'Reilley. Enjoyed his other books in this vein (especially KILLING KENNEDY) and find Patton interesting.

In a used bookstore in Vernon CT a couple of days ago. Found a few choice purchases including CASTAWAYS by Brian Keene.
Never heard of this one, but have liked pretty much all he's done, so looking forward to checking it out.

Picked this up over the Memorial Day weekend:
Paid more than I'm normally accustomed to, $14 with tax (ouch!) but it seemed too important to let pass by. Don't like the idea of it being abridged (13, 000 words removed from the body in true slasher fashion) but de Camp assures the reader mostly "repetitions, digressions, and speculative obiter dicta" fell to the blade.


Picked this up last weekend at the annual Spring library book sale:

Second edition hardback, mint condition, 25¢.

May I suggest a companion piece to that book Lin Carter's Lovecraft: A Look Behind The Cthulhu Mythos.

Glad you did. Don't recall seeing your edition before. Here's the one I have:

Some new books. Finally going to read King Pest. Wanted to reread TDT: The Gunslinger in its original. Wanted to reread Darkfall as something I could read before sleeping. Running out of Discworld books to reread at bed time. Helps me get sleepy. The others looked interesting, small press and all that.

Mysteries of the Worm? The only Robert Bloch I've read is Psycho and i'm curious if his other work is worth a look.

Recent purchases except I forgot King Pest I had bought a longer time ago. Still haven't gotten to it though. Anyway, just sharing.
