About me I work in an academic library. I'm fascinated by psychotronic film, the history of horror in fiction and other media, comic books, science fiction, giant monsters, tiny monsters (my two cats), and way too much otherwise completely unrelated junk. Check out my LT groups 'The Weird Tradition' and 'Horror Films: History, Reference, and Beyond'!

I'm currently writing reviews / articles for the Centipede Press Online Literary Supplement - see the link just below the map!

Thanks very much! If you end up checking out my novel, or any of my other work, I'd love to hear what you think.

Here's wishing you the best in all aspects of your life.

Hi
Thought I'd make contact since you share 13 favourite authors with me. That's only one less than Mayorwhitebelly. I sent you a friends invitation a few days ago.
Cheers
Leigh Blackmore
Thanks for the invite. Perfect timing since I just finished reading Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu" for the first time in years. Part of a horror collection I've been working through, "The Dark Descent." Good stuff.

Happy cataloging to you.

Ken -

It's a pleasure to read your posts, man. Nice to meet you, and keep posting!
Kenton,

LMK if you want/need to upgrade your THE LOST AND THE LURKING from PB to HC SFBC edition. It's the alternate grey cover shown with the listing. I have two at the moment. It's a tough call because PB 1st to book club is sort of a lateral. There's no "extra" material but there is a picture of the author.

- Barney
Ok, you seem to be the "horror guy" around here, so maybe you could answer a question. What exactly do you consider Wierd Fiction, is it primarily the stuff by Lovecraft and his ilk, or does other stuff along the same wavelenght like Dunsany and Blackwood count? Oh, and long live Godzilla, true king of the monsters!!!
Love your profile pick. Widescreen, uncut, subtitled edition getting released on DVD in September, in case you didn't already know. Here's the Amazon.com ASIN: B000FA4TLQ.

Interested in what you thought of "Johnny Got His Gun" which is a book I read years ago but have been thinking a lot about recently for no particular reason. Have you seen the film version (I haven't since it's hard to come by and I've heard it's not worth the effort, but I've never communicated directly with anyone who has actually seen it). Happy cataloging.
Running MS-DOS: Version 6.22 is a book you CHOSE to list? I hope you were wearing a freakin' bow tie while you typed that one. What does the Mojo wire say about Deadwood this weekend? And are there DEADWOOD novels? There *#@^*! oughta be!

Arigato, Dannelke-san!
May your tag cloud be radiactive and spawn many Toho Monsters. - Barney
