Who would name his boy Solar? It is possible he took the name himself. I recently read three or even four volumes of Derleth's Solar Pons stories. They are consistently very boring and nothing like Conan Doyle. You may well ask why I nevertheless persevered; I have no good answer. By reading them you get to appreciate Doyle/Holmes more.

Am loving Brennan, and The Shapes of Midnight in particular, so much, I grabbed an extra copy. Meanwhile, I've heard it's being reprinted at long last later this year. In July, apparently. Anyone heard anything about this?

This is the first I've heard of it, but it appears that both "Shapes of Midnight" and "nine Horrors and a Dream" are scheduled for mid-year reprints! Awesome! That's extremely welcome news. To say the least. Now a new generation can read Brennan's stuff and I won't have to pay through the nose if anything happens to my moldering old paperbacks, heh.

Those are all fabulous discoveries, James. The Hoffman illos make me think of Erte. (Sorry, I can figure out how to do accents here.)
And that tantalizing glimpse from another Vault of Evil is provocative indeed. They thought the "Phwoar!" thread was going to be just one romp in the hay after another... UNTIL...
cheers, H.

Hello,
Would you have any interest in selling that 1st edition of Jack the Ripper? Thanks.

Hello, Would you have any interest in selling that 1st edition of Jack the Ripper? Thanks. Not at the moment - I've got a pretty comprehensive set of Horwitz paperbacks. I'll keep an eye out for copies.

Lovely to see Barnabas, Quentin and the Scorpio Curse, presumably somehow or other abandoned by some traveling Yank aeons ago. I don't think Dark Shadows ever ran down under.
Thank you for these scans!
cheers, Helrunar

Nice finds!
Has anybody read the Halloween novelisation by Curtis Richards?
Or The Fog by Etchinson, come to think of it?

I don't think Dark Shadows ever ran down under. It did! I've an early memory of watching an episode in grainy black and white at my grandparent's place - must have been early 70s.

Has anybody read the Halloween novelisation by Curtis Richards? This might prompt me to read it! A novelisation that seems to be particularly hard to find is Michael Avallone's Friday 13 - there's an Australian version published by QB that's almost unobtainable.

Very cool to know that. Thanks, James!
