Merry Xmas all! Boxing day here and the test match starts in a few hours, so I'll settle down with a few beers. Pity it's considered bad form to give 2nd hand Xmas presents, like vintage horror paperbacks, but there you go. Here's a rather battered Arrow cover from 1962 - must get around to reading it some time:   |

your health, sir! thanks for posting The Witches Of Pendle scans. Been after a copy of this one for a while now, having been very taken with his Witch-Bane, an everyday tale of persecution mania set against the backdrop of the English civil war which blends an awful lot of 'historically accurate' material in with the fiction. here's another personal "must get around to reading it some time." Charlotte Jay - The Yellow Turban (Fontana, 1962) obviously, the cover was the hook, that and the hope of some Thuggee cult, Kali, Indian Mutiny & Co. action which often lends itself well to horror fiction (think 'Errol Lecale's The Tigerman Of Terrahpur, Les Daniels' No Blood Spilled, etc). |

Hope everyone had a good Xmas. I've been slowly sobering up since early evening! Merry Xmas all! Boxing day here and the test match starts in a few hours, so I'll settle down with a few beers. I've managed to last up until the rain/lunch James, & am now off to bed for a nap. No more showers please ... Mark S. |

Charlotte Jay is the author of the fantastic BEAT NOT THE BONES (1952), winner, I think, of the first Edgar award. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
