20p each from car boot: and a first NEL edition of Salem's Lot. Very nice! I love the cover art... especially Mysteries and the Poe/Verne books.

hi james. The Dead Travel Fast will always be special to me as it was thanks to that novel i met Franklin Marsh. Within a month we'd dragged in another fan, Ripper, and that's how Vault started. Marcus Obadiah, the world's most lugubrious Occult detective, has more than a woeful record on serious crime prevention to answer for and no mistake. 'Richard Tate' = Anthony Masters, by the way. Had a good time with Mark Ronson's Ghoul too, but it's fair to say i might be in a minority on that one. as you may recall, we also have a lively thread for C. Lee's Chamber of Horrors - guest appearance by one of mr. decker's ghosts.

This is a nice idea, to take an outtake, but I can´t make the details of the smaler one.

Got Bugged! by Donald F. Glut on the way, courtesy of Amazon. My copy is apparently signed, too, if the seller is to be believed.
Edit: Speak of the devil, it just arrived in the mail! Alas, despite what the seller seemed to imply, it is not signed by Glut. Oh well. I'll give it a read after I'm done with Where Eagles Dare (which isn't horror, but still a damn fine book so far).

after I'm done with Where Eagles Dare (which isn't horror, but still a damn fine book so far). Broadsword calling Danny Boy I love this movie, have seen it many times. The plot doesn´t make a bit of sense, but Richard Burton chewing his sentences as if he means them, Clint Eastwood killing the Wehrmacht single-handed and Ingrid Pitt ramming Messerschmidts with a bus, what´s not to love? Have bought the book, but never read it though.

The book is less violent than the movie, actually. The German general and the SS colonel have a more humorous fate than in the movie, at least I think so. I shan't spoil everything though.

Dem, you're dead right about The Dead Travel Fast - grand stuff! I've never seen so many bell-bottomed olive green trousers. Thanks for the tip.

Well done for picking up those first eds, Johnny! I had the Cavendish book many years ago and condensed it into an after-school lecture I gave when I was 15 (it was the kind of situation one might find in a Ramsey Campbell story but before we could get to the good stuff ! had to leave to catch the bus home!).
I'm assuming Bob West was a pseudonym - the Adventures movies were of course put together by Stanley Long in the wake of the Confessions movies and apart from the Barry Evans-starring Adventures of a Taxi Driver were quite dire.
Actually I'm probably being kind - the Evans movie was no great shakes either but as David McGillivray said - "These were sex comedies that were neither funny nor sexy - consequently the British public lapped them up."
