Very sad to read today of Guy's passing after such a diabolical year.
Clickety Click and goodnight mr Smith.

I’m about a third of the way in and enjoying the book. It does feel aimed perhaps more at the US market overall. It’s a shame that the covers of Guy N Smith’s Crabs’ books featured the dreadful American covers , instead of some of the U.K. versions. We’re there copyright issues regarding what covers could be reproduced?
Cheers ,

I’ve read Pedler & Davis’ ‘Dynostar Menace’ and remember that was equally gripping. Thanks for the write up.

I can’t find a thread about this book , but am interested in anyone’s thoughts on it. Worth getting ? For some reason I’ve held off purchasing it so far.
Cheers ,
Ade

Attached is a scan of my copy of the first official American issue of House of Hammer ( renamed House of Horror to appease Warren Publications). Whilst sporting Lalla Ward's vampire acrobat on the cover ( originally printed on the Vampire Circus comic adaption issue 17) - Dez re-used it here whilst the interior strip used was John Bolton's excellent Curse of the Werewolf from issue 10. The rest of the issue is made up of various previously published articles from the UK mag. There was subsequently only 2 more U.S. editions - House of Horror # 19 and a further name change to Halls of Horror #20. These issues were exact copies of the UK publications barring a $1.00 price tag. In contrast the UK comic became House of Horror for issues 19 and 20 before becoming finally Halls of Horror for the rest of it's run. Attachments:

Is it available in newsagents? - This issue was published in Jan. 1991 - so I think you've missed it ! I doubt it's published anymore though I did pick up the latest issue of Scream ( not the comic) recently because of a Kiss of the Vampire article. KC Attachments:

Can't find an actual FEAR section , but anyway just purchased FEAR #25 mostly for the Les Edwards feature though anything Psycho , even 4, will catch my attention. I'll let you know what the issue is like if I remember to come back - Morphine has that effect.

Blood summer by Louise Cooper. -
I recall enjoying this though it's more a quiet lyrical romance rather than out and out horror. I seem to remember she wrote a sequel the name of which escapes me.

Is Kiss of the Vampire getting novelised? It's one of my top favourites too from the late Don Sharp.

Lovely picture by your better half Dem. Sorry I've not been around much. I was diagnosed with cancer in March and underwent a neck dissection plus chemo and radiation therapy. I'm just now starting to feel my old self though I get tired quickly. Lost my sense of taste for awhile but it's started to return. As you might guess I had a tumour in my neck and tonsil. Anyway I managed to read The Omen and The Exorcist ! I got to say I prefered The Omen overall. And I still hate The Wood! Otherwise I've mostly been reading comics. My last checkup went well and I see them again in January and then for years to come should all go well. And yes it scared me to fucking death but I'm coping. I still pop by and see what you guys are up to.
All the best
KC

Best thing I saw last week to do with the Gothic season. Loved visiting Lorrimer's offices and Dark They Were And Golden Eyed. It looked just like it did on my one and only visit. Got a bit bored with the exorcists bit which sort of took over the prog.
