Excellent job Lee.....very much a Lovecraft vibe to it.

Thanx, man! Very glad you liked it.

The Elementals (1981) by Michael McDowell.

Haunted house by the beach tale with a Gothic flare. A bit pricey online for 80s fare but the writing is quite good so far (halfway through).

Books.

Right now, this:



Ja hän huutaa: Splatterpunk antologia (different writers)
[And he/she shouts/screams : Splatterpunk Anthology]
(It has no English translations, so book's title sound bit off.)


This is a Finnish short story, anthology collection, from different writers.
Theme is splatterpunk (remembering Clive Barker and other writers of the same genre), violence, gore and sexual perversions.

One story is a commentary about a man who lives his daily life, until he is driven insane by strict work morals (works at post office service, and he gets REALLY frustrated about it, and everything around him).

One story is about two young hooligans who trying to wreck up and raid a adult store. But, it does not go very well... Not at all. (This story was more like Clive Barkers work, had bit of Hellraiser going on)

First story is about, a man adopting his mother back to home (she has Alzheimer's). He starts torturing her and tormenting her, after all these years what she has been abusing him, when this man was a child.

And there are many more. Haven't finished it yet, but it has been okay. Sometimes these are really over-the-top and silly, but what to expect.

Got back from Cape Cod MA yesterday...lots of enjoyable reading on the beach. Finished GHOUL by Brian Keene (like this a lot) and started a so far excellent bio of Tod Browning (DRACULA, FREAK, several Lon Chaney films) called DARK CARNIVAL by David Skal (one of my favorite film historians) and Elias Savada.

Returning to more highbrow horror after finishing the McDowell pulp novel.

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of this season's newest zombie anthology. See my sig to purchase yours.
