The King in Yellow, by Robert Chambers – Fairly purple prose here and a lot of “it was all a dream!” endings, but Chambers clearly was a huge influence on Lovecraft. Interesting to trace those ideas and tropes to this book.

If you like monster situations involving Abe Lincoln, read the Magazine of Bizarro Fiction#3, featuring my story Remancipator that has a zombie Lincoln advantage that can only be stopped by a descendant of John Wilkes Booth and a badass samurai Marilyn Monroe.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson – I’m only about 15% of the way in, but this – don’t know if this is dangerous to say – is kind of dreadful. The writing’s terrible so far. I’m hoping that when the mystery really cranks up it gets better.

My Bro had me watch the movie. I loved it!

I'm kinda reading REALMS OF FANTASY. By Malcom Edwards and Robert Holdstock. It's like a collection of things and talking about everything ranging from medieval times to the Future, and also talk about things like the hobbit and such. It's from 1983..ooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhh

From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life by Jacques Barzun. So far a wonderful account of the cultural life and death of the greatest culture of the day.

Sounds cool. I'll keep my eyes open for a second hand copy. Right now I'm reading THE CALL OF CTHULHU AND OTHER WEIRD STORIES by H.P. Lovecraft, edited by S.T. Joshi. Beautifully annotated with a bio-intro as fascinating as any of the weird tales within, Joshi seems like the man to go to for all things Lovecraftian, which I suppose is why Penguin Books did just that. Some really creepy stuff here. One story, "The Picture In The House" should be saved (and savored) for a stormy night in late October.

A Million Versions of right- Reccommended by Doc and suitably screwing with my mind. I can honestly say I have never read anything so warped and odd and at the same time endearing x
