KILLING PATTON by Bill O'Reilley. Enjoyed his other books in this vein (especially KILLING KENNEDY) and find Patton interesting.

In a used bookstore in Vernon CT a couple of days ago. Found a few choice purchases including CASTAWAYS by Brian Keene.
Never heard of this one, but have liked pretty much all he's done, so looking forward to checking it out. |
Picked this up over the Memorial Day weekend:
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...slzwbcd6c.jpeg Paid more than I'm normally accustomed to, $14 with tax (ouch!) but it seemed too important to let pass by. Don't like the idea of it being abridged (13, 000 words removed from the body in true slasher fashion) but de Camp assures the reader mostly "repetitions, digressions, and speculative obiter dicta" fell to the blade. Picked this up last weekend at the annual Spring library book sale: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...snz8te1wd.jpeg Second edition hardback, mint condition, 25¢. |

Glad you did. Don't recall seeing your edition before. Here's the one I have:

Some new books. Finally going to read King Pest. Wanted to reread TDT: The Gunslinger in its original. Wanted to reread Darkfall as something I could read before sleeping. Running out of Discworld books to reread at bed time. Helps me get sleepy. The others looked interesting, small press and all that.

Mysteries of the Worm? The only Robert Bloch I've read is Psycho and i'm curious if his other work is worth a look.

KILLING REAGAN by Bill O'Reiily
|
Picked this up at the library sale today:
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...sfkiay8es.jpeg Really good shape for fifty cents, not sure it wasn't snagged by now as this is the third day of the sale. Contains a lot of nice stuff but I wanted it mainly for Hugh B. Cave's 1933 "Murgunstrumm." |
While Christmas shopping for my wife I did something I don't think anyone here would dream of doing. I got myself a Christmas present on the sly:
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...sn0izngf9.jpeg Looked too good to pass up on sale for $7.49. |
HANNS AND RUDOLPH-by Thomas Hardy. Very good book about the German born Jew who captured the Auschwitz Commandant. Hardy devotes bookend Chapters on both men during the same time period, showing both men's good/bad sides.

"Unsung Horrors" From the Folks Behind "We Belong Dead" magazine
1 Attachment(s)
Just received my copy of the excellent "Unsung Horrors", which contains reviews of some 200 plus underrated and under-appreciated horror films from the 1920s all the way to 1979. These are reviews from fans like you and me. Everyone remembers the blockbuster horror "The Exorcist" from 1973, but how many remember the same year's "Scream, Blacula, Scream", the follow up to the previous year's "Blacula"? In fact, I'm reading a review now for 1970's "The House That Screamed" starring Lilli Palmer. I hadn't seen the film in some 20 years and now I really want to re-check this film out!
I ordered it from unsunghorrors.co.uk for any who are interested.http://unsunghorrors.co.uk |

That looks cool!

Picked up these three Saturday:
WEIRD FLORIDA-Charlie Carlson HOLLYWOOD ROCKS-Marshall Crenshaw and others...would like an update JOE DIMAGGIO; A HERO's LIFE-Richard Ben Creamer. Don't like baseball at all, but very good read, especially his relationship with Marilyn Monroe. Last years seemed kind of sad as he became uber-cranky and all but gouging fans at autograph shows. |
