Hi. Wanted to join the group as well as announce that there is now (since June 2023) an official website devoted to Bloch: Robert Bloch Official Website
It aims to be an ongoing bibliography of Bloch's work. There are updates on an irregular basis. I hope you enjoy, and please share (here, or via the Contact page on the site) any feedback (or corrections)! Jim |

Hi Jim. Are you looking to include all the anthology appearances? Might be able to help with the UK ones if so.

Hi Dem.
At this time, no. I do hope in the future to expand upon the novels/collections to include foreign editions, but that's beyond my bandwidth at the moment. I will certainly reach out when so.
Many thanks!

OK, will keep a list in the meantime as I come across them.
Thank you for registering, and very well done on the site.

It's a great website - extremely thorough. You would have these, but I can't see them listed:    There's also this, probably not listed because it's basically a fanzine:  It contains "The Laughter of a Ghoul", first published in Fantasy Fan, Dec 1934; and "What Every Ghoul Should Know", first published in Amateur Correspondent Sept-Oct 1937. I see you've got the transcription I put together of his talk at Cinecon in 1981 - unfortunately I returned the tape to Graeme and it was probably thrown out after he died. You might know that Leigh Blackmore's good mate, Danny Lovecraft, bought Bloch's letters to Graeme Flanagan from Graeme before he died, along with signed books of his (Psycho, Opener of the Way etc etc) - and Leigh has been working on a "Collected Letters" volume for years. Anyway, keep up the great work. |

Thank you everyone, for the kind words and offers. "Laughter" and "What Every..." are listed (buried) within the Fanzine page. The Collected Interviews, Companion, and RB Fanzine are tricky for me. For now (with the occasional exceptions), the site focuses on works authored by Bloch. Perhaps items like this would be useful under a "Further Reading" or "References" type page? Certainly much more to do with the site.  A Gallery of Bloch photos is coming soon. Shhh! |

Happy to announce some recent, major updates: 1) A new GAL LERY page, with numerous photographs
2) A more graphical representation in the Novels, Collections, Films, and Television pages

Very cool! If there are any other Macbook users following along at home, I had to click on the bars in the upper left hand corner to get the buttons or tabs for the various pages to appear. I presume it's just one of those Windows things that doesn't play well with Apple products.
And I've already made a fascinating discovery--a 1963 unsold television pilot for which Bloch wrote a short teleplay, THE PLOT THICKENS--helpfully linked from the Internet Archive.
Best wishes with your continuing endeavors!
Hel.

Well done, Jim. The cover art and photo gallery really bring it to life.
