Paul M. has the feeling he's becoming a cover artist again. Hope my copy arrives soon. NB Apparently Reggie Oliver was acting in the episode of Hazell that was on Talking Pictures tonight.

Here's Reggie as "Wounded Man" in The Duchess of Duke Street, (episode; Your Country Needs You Oct. 1977), as recently revived on the Drama Channel. |

Every time I look at this thread I seem to hear Eddie on Ab Fab querying to nobody in particular "Where's that bloody buggery teaspoon" and Mum riposting "Have you tried looking in the bloody buggery drawer?"
Sounds like a bloody buggery read for good old bloody buggery Bloody Britain! Too bloody right!
Saluting,
H.

To business. Some story notes rehashed from elsewhere on board, others written from scratch. Makes no difference. They're all is bad as each other. Do the smart thing - skip my clichéd garbage, buy the book instead. Night of the Crone: (Paul Finch [ed.]. Terror Tales Of The Lake District, 2011). Zed and his four teenage hoodlums are the terrors of Langwathby village where the locals are long wise to their antisocial pastimes - drink, drugs, vandalism, animal abuse, cat theft, mugging, the occasional gang rape & Co. Banned from the pub, they now mostly persecute yuppie tourists, cases in point, two teenage birds camping in the shadow of 'Long Meg and her daughters,' the Bronze Age stone circle at Great Salkeld. The lads are all for giving the pair a seeing to then and there, but Zed says no, they'll keep until after they've accomplished tonight's serious business. They're going to dig up the ancient megalith to loot the alleged treasure trove beneath. This proves too much like hard work. When a fog descends and the lightening storm breaks, they need little excuse to down pick-axes and go after the girls. But their desecration has released the ancient witch entrapped in the stone and, in true slasher movie fashion, she sets about picking them off one by one. Cyril's Mission: (Alex Davis [ed.], Worms. 2014). In the six months since Father Cyril, 60, has been re-assigned to Mortkirk, two infants, Mary Croft and Ollie Frampton, have gone missing. The villagers fear a paedophile and suspicion falls on the Holy Man, whose ruddy face betrays a fondness for Sainsbury's whiskey. Story seems even grimmer to me now than it did on publication. See for yourself: 2018 Vault Advent Calendar Teatime: (Charles Black [ed.], Eleventh Black Book of Horror. 2015). Never trust a good Samaritan. Life and unspeakably cruel crimes of Victor, scientist and door to door collector for the Cancer charity he founded in memory of mother dearest. His epic campaign versus, first lab rats, then the young women of a South Wales community, earns him a suitably grisly comeuppance. Very Tales From the Crypt, but with added ghastliness. The Haggis Queen: Short and not so sweet ghost story set in a trendy apartment built on the site of a Glasgow meat factory where ... something terrible happened. To be continued. Bloody brilliant so far. Reggie Oliver's haunting illustrations are entirely sympathetic to the uneasy mood. And, as I'm sure those of you who know Anna will agree, Rob Shearman's introduction is spot on! |

The Cat Sitter: ( Shadowcats, 2019). Jane sacrifices the May bank holiday weekend to cottage and cat sit for Isabella and Jonathan while they holiday in Spain. Jane falls under the spell of a seventeenth century witch, burned by the local farming community after the disappearance of two local children. A definite for our Black Forest - Trees of Evil thread, if we've not already included it. The Trump/ Lemmy Test: (Joel Lane & Tom Johnstone [eds.], Horror Uncut, 2014). The Government's 'war on poverty' is aided and abetted by vigilantes who take to hunting down and torture murdering welfare claimants. Disability benefit assessors as the new Witch-finder Generals. A frightening postcard from the recent past, horribly topical for a whole new post-Covid readership as mass unemployment beckons. A Walk in the Park: Desperate for a break from her bedridden harridan of a mother-in-law, Doreen takes Amber the Chihauahua for pampered walkies on the wasteland that once served as Wraithsfield park. Creepy tribute to perhaps Stephen King's saddest novel and the Ramones classic it inspired ....
