Or is that a little too long? :/ You're right about that though, I could write a book on what I have. I was doing it as a hobby, trying to collect certain old books of stories, and other novels. Right now, I'm still hunting down books of Hanns Heinz Ewers, four of them to be sure. 10315 Sat August 23 2008 - 18:42:07 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: Dark, I think you could write a book about your books and stories. DOCTOR DARK'S LITTLE SHOP OF LITERARY CURIOSITIES & LITTLE-KNOWN CLASSICS. 10314 Fri August 22 2008 - 03:47:47 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: Just finished reading an old book, "Strange Papers Of Dr. Blayre" by Edward Heron-Allen aka Christopher Blayre. It's a mixed bag, it's science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Some of the stories harken to Twilight Zone and some are comparable to Stephen Vincent Benet, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Hodgson. It's a good book. I know Heron-Allen had written several more. I've yet to find and nab several more of his weird tales. 10313 Tue August 19 2008 - 22:24:29 Fullname: Dave W Email: Comments: Dark, that's a whole lot of reading you got yourself into! :) 10312 Tue August 19 2008 - 14:12:28 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: 2000! Holy shite! I'm afraid to count mine. 10311 Tue August 19 2008 - 04:05:53 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: I have all of Phil Rickman. I've yet to get around to reading them. Hey, I have 2000 of my books on wall to wall of bookcases. Most of them are unread. Whaddya expect? 10310 Mon August 18 2008 - 21:21:01 Fullname: Dave W Email: Comments: Halfway through?! Dude!! ;) I read THE MAN IN THE MOSS recently and it was tops. I also read CURFEW a long, long time ago. That guy writes 'em thick, but good. Not recommended if you don't like quiet horror. 10309 Mon August 18 2008 - 18:08:35 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: Long time ago I got halfway through his DECEMBER. There was another one I liked better but can't remember the title...CURFEW, that was it. Which one(s) do you like, Dave? 10308 Mon August 18 2008 - 12:09:00 Fullname: Dave W Email: Comments: Anyone read Phil Rickman? He's awesome. 10307 Sun August 17 2008 - 00:34:02 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: Why, thank you. :) I try bringing up some people you've never heard about. 10306 Sat August 16 2008 - 13:32:08 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: You amaze me, Dark, with the way you find interesting authors few people know anything about. You're a man with refined taste for dark classics and a knack for digging them up. 10305 Fri August 15 2008 - 01:50:51 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: I'm getting a copy of Theophile Gautier's "The Mummy's Foot & Other Stories." Be lettin' you know how this one went. Right now, I'm reading The Strange Papers of Dr. Christopher Blayre by Edward Heron-Allen. It's a book of strange tales that took place at a university. 10304 Fri August 08 2008 - 19:10:25 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: I've never read any Wakefield, as far as I know, but thanks to you, Dark, I will. 10303 Fri August 08 2008 - 03:43:23 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: Now, I'm done with H. Russell Wakefield's The Clock Strikes Twelve. Already read the Ballentine version, now that I've bought an Arkham House version. Those not familiar, you should. Wakefield's a classic ghost story writer in the tradition of M.R. James, J.Sheridan LeFanu, and Algernon Blackwood. Now I'm onto reading the paranoid stories of Philip K. Dick. 10302 Wed July 30 2008 - 10:47:39 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: Digital Dirty Deb...? 10301 Wed July 30 2008 - 05:15:43 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: Howzabout the other digit, trip? Heh. ;) 10300 Wed July 30 2008 - 02:47:45 Fullname: Dirty Deb Email: Comments: How about this one, Trip? 10299 Tue July 29 2008 - 23:46:21 Fullname: Triple-D Email: Comments: Pull my finger! No! Not that one! 10298 Fri July 25 2008 - 21:06:08 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: Thanks for the on-the-scene report, Dark. Enjoy! 10297 Fri July 25 2008 - 15:05:16 Fullname: Turd Boy Email: Comments: We already have Uncle Crappy and Cousin Icky at the shithouse. 10296 Fri July 25 2008 - 02:18:30 Fullname: Darkomik77 Email: Comments: (Dons his gas mask as he enters.) I'm having some fun over at the comic book convention. Just got some info that you guys would be interested, Dark Horse comics are reprinting all of Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie comics in several volumes starting with the first one. Also, there's a nifty tome of Frankenstein with great illustrations by Bernie Wrightson. That one's from Dark Horse. Thought I'd let you guys know. :) 10295 Fri July 25 2008 - 02:17:45 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: It might have something to do with that new roadhouse with indoor plumbing that sprang up down the road. 10294 Thu July 24 2008 - 13:06:52 Fullname: Turd Boy Email: Comments: Closed? I guess the hot weather and the lovely smell of yesterday's collards might have something to do with it. 10293 Thu July 24 2008 - 11:16:19 Fullname: Capt Doody Email: Comments: Hey, who nailed that CLOSED sign to the shithouse door? 10292 Sat July 19 2008 - 15:00:31 Fullname: Randy Email: rchand46@aol.com Comments: Thanks, Brother Dave. As far as I know, this is the first tale about giant "cooties." << 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 >>
