Got the following books this week:

M.R. James: Collected Ghost Stories
Robert E. Howard: Haunter of the Ring & Other Tales
Ambrose Pierce: Terror by Night

Also ordered this one:
Horrors From The Haunted Seas by William Hope Hodgson

Haven't read anything by these writers yet.
But I did some research earlier on and it looks like my cup of tea.
Oh, yeah. Also bought Lemmy's White Line Fever.

Just ordered The Monster Club to be shipped from the UK. I figure if sfear keeps it as his avatar for years on end it must be pretty good!

Cool! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. R. Chetwynd-Hayes is a good writer despite having a name I can never remember how to spell.

I remember seeing this a while ago - and it was too much $$$ to buy.

I just found it - mint condition - unread - including the simpsons comic enclosed
for 99 cents.

Every year a locally owned bookstore on the south side of town offers their customers 25% off any book in the store and a free cup of coffee from the coffee shop upstairs. What can be better than that?

Speaking of dwindling storage space, I've been trying to break the habit of stopping by the library every weekend and checking out the freebie shelf. But what good is a habit if it's easy to break?



THE ARMED VISION contains a 20 plus page essay on the writings of Van Wyck Brooks and I thought this should be enlightening. What I got was a front row seat of Brooks getting bashed by a shop lamp. Hyman spends most of his time displaying his strong dislike for everything except his strong dislike for everything. I suppose some will be impressed.

The MacInnes sort of speaks for itself. 1942 paperback. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

Recently acquired Dune, The Club Dumas, and Incarnate by Ramsey Campbell. I will start on those in a couple weeks when I get some free time.

It was great. A delightful balance of British humor and horror. Have you read anything else he's written?
