Also got INSIDE EUROPE by John Gunther, 1938 edition. Evidently there were a zillion editions of this book. Looks good though.

AWSOME!! would love to read that

Yeah, I'm fortunate to have found this. Winwar is noted for her biographies.

Looks like you made another good haul. Could I ask which book publisher put out your edition of THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND?

Here's what I found on the $3 table last Saturday:

reading that ramsey campbell"the doll who ate his mother" at the moment bob,but the cover on myns nowhere near as cool

sfear- the publisher is Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc.

wiz- how are you enjoying it so far?

tell ya when iv read a bit more only a few chapters in.

ramseys style of wrighting can be irritating at times dont ya think?or is it just me?
he writes great books ,but just sometimes.

No I never had a problem with Campbell's writing style, now Straub, his style of writing can be hard to get through sometimes.

oh hes not that bad,not like strawb,just some annoying dumb metaphors and things like in this book one person calls the same character bob where everyone else calls him rob?why

The only one I've ever seen is the old Ace edition that went for 35 or 40 cents decades ago and which, of course, cost me about $5 at the used bookstore. I was surprised to see a newer copy. Looks good.

I love Straub but sometimes his wording can be tiresome.

It's strange and really weird in a good way. It's a fast read because its short and well as the old cliche goes " a real page turner".

Hey Wiz, you're a splatterpunk fan right? Have you ever read any Robert Devereaux?

yeah i like all genres of horror equally really,but i havnt read a splatter in a while apart from that j.r lansdale which wasnt really that "splattery"if ya know what i mean
no i havnt heard of that guy ill see if i can find a book of his

He looks like he could be right up your alley as far as splatterpunk goes.

fuck i cant find any on trademe(nz ebay) and i dont like paying for a new book,how long has he been around ,is he well known?

He has been around since the 80's. In the horror community, especiallly the splatterpunk and bizarro genres, he is very well known. He has a reputation as an author who pushes every envelope and with titles like Santa Steps Out, Santa Claus Conquers the Homophobes, and Baby's First Book of Seriously Fucked-Up Shit I really don't doubt that claim. This will be my first read of his so I can't personally vouch for him though.

Here's a link to a sight for Deadite Press who specializes in splatterpunk: http://deaditepress.com/

It's all retail but I thought you would enjoy the cover art of some of them.

fuckin cool man,awsome art works,and just the titles of the books "genital grinder" thanks.
are all those authors mentioned relitivaly good?....sorry for all the questions

I know that Brian Keene, Bryan Smith, John Skipp, Ed Lee, Wrath James White, Carlton Mellick III, and J.F. Gonzalez are all really good. Then there is the author David Brockie who is most well known as Oderus Urungus, and is the lead singer of GWAR.

wow!!i did not know that..interesting

oh hey did you read the doll who ate his mother?id like to hear your opinion

iv bought a few books lately a few james herberts and john sauls,most importantly i finally got stephen kings IT.
Also so got an interesting book of short storys called "creepy stories"with some old school authors like D.H Lawrence,Arther Machen,Edgar Wallace. E.A Poe,Honore de balzac Washington Irving and some others.

I should finish it up today but so far my assessment is that It's more a crime story than anything else, sort of an odd and eerie "day in the life" of an unsettled and unsettling shadow-crawler of a man. Now, it definitely has a supernatural element to it though and there were parts that were absolutely unsettling and creepy. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

crack up,is should finish it up today as well(i just got up)
i dont get how he has got away with it soo far,his names cris,edmund went to school with him,his granny didnt reckonise his voice(he put on a different voice..but she seems really good at sensing every thing else)



edit: what was that about at the very end? id give it 5/10 pretty average.

Graham Masterton - flesh and blood

Joe Hill - horns

He looked completely different than he did as child and his granny was blind, at least that was the impression that I got.

same but didnt convince me,he had been living with his gran all his child hood,dont think it would be soo easy...any way who cares this joe hill books awsome so far

The Salem was fifty cents, the Chandler and Chaucer were twenty-five cents each.

looks interesting, ,is it non fiction?

Yes, it is. I've been reading a little about the Mather clan lately and am hoping this might more fully explain the extent of their involvement.

Jago sounds amazing on the back
