these are like bad porn without the sex!  You are so right. Half of the Beeline novels were better written than his  |

I've been after this for ages for 'The Hole of the Pit', and finally got a copy for a buck at the junk shop - pretty crappy ex-library copy though. And 'The Hole' lives up to expectations: bloody ghosts, Italian femme fatales, slimy sea monster, sword fights, romance - you name it - all written in delightful faux 17th century English.  I assume this is indexed on the Vault somewhere, but anyway: Ramsey Campbell, Introduction Russell Kirk, Behind the Stumps Dorothy K. Haynes, A Horizon of Obelisks Alison Prince, The Loony Henry Normanby, The First-Nighter Fritz Leiber, The Hill and the Hole Robert Aickman, Ravissante Donald Wandrei, The Lady in Gray Walter de la Mare, A Mote Ramsey Campbell, McGonagall in the Head Adrian Ross, The Hole of the Pit |

"The Hole of the Pit" is the book's centerpiece, but some of the other stories are great, too. |

From a bookshop on the way to Wollongong: Horrors Unknown - $8  Frankenstein: The True Story (a screenplay) - $3  The Journal of Edwin Underhill - $3  Started this - hopeless nerd turns into sexy Byronic vampire. Judging from the author's photo on the back there's a bit of wishful thinking involved.  |

Thomas Tessier - The NightwalkerI saw Tessier recommended by Stephen King in DANSE MACABRE but have yet to try him. I do have Tessier's FINISHING TOUCHES that I picked up awhile back. Speaking of books to read - Etienne Aubin's VIRGINS OF THE UNDEAD should be with me anyday. One of Vault's legendary must reads.  KC

Heh. I am glad that it is not only me who sometimes takes months (or years) to get around to a book. |
