Thumbs up

Acquired today:



UNDER THE SHANGHAI TUNNELS by Lee Widener.

This looks to be simply horrifying. Saving this to read late at night by candlelight this weekend. Widener is one of the top neo-Lovecraftian writers going today, folks.

Couple of goodies from The Salvation Army today. All books were half off so these cost a quarter each.



Tried to put these images side by side but kept getting some image removed emblem that had nothing to do with reality so I superimposed them, thereby wasting space. Digital thing I think.

Thanks. I actually have quite a bit of HPL's fiction: ten paperbacks including the six Ballantine editions with the great John Holmes covers. But what I don't have is his famous essay, The Supernatural in Horror Fiction. For $20 Barnes and Noble offers this new massively corrected volume with all his fiction arranged in chronological order, a few extra items the last of which is his essay. S.T. Joshi, for whom I have the highest admiration, writes the introductions and offers the essay in its "first textually sound" form. If you buy only one book a year...

I freaked out Mr. Joshi when I grabbed his hand and enthusiastically shook it outside a bathroom at this year's HP Lovecraft Film Festival and CthulhuCon...
