Centipede will be releasing.....

[RonClinton]

This another half forgotten, paperback original title from unlikely publisher, The Playboy Press. Editor, Ray Russell, was a horror author himself and published some really good and eclectic titles like (I believe) Blood Innocents, Closed Circle, the Russ Martin series and some Charles Grant anthologies. This might make a nice research article for Weird Fiction Review. Thanks

I have actually given thought to Playboy Press for my CtMM in WFR, but the interview-heavy, collectible-focused approach I like to utilize wouldn’t work, unfortunately. But it’s interesting that you mention author/editor Ray Russell…he’s someone who certainly deserves attention.

I have the original paperback 1st of it which I still haven’t read, even though I’ve had it for many years, so I think in this case I’m going to hold off on the Centipede reprint. Probably save my pennies for next week.

I ended up splurging too! Nessie & druids, sign me up!

Nice! In fact- I just received it. And, it has all the cool vibes I suspected. Also, it is HEAVILY illustrated. I mean, there's a lot!

I splurged on the Spruill book- even though I'd never heard of it until today- purely because of my inner child's love and awe for the Loch Ness Monster. I'm sure many of us older folks remember In Search Of? And, it just has really good vibes. Neat!

I have not—and I’ve never even heard of it before this release— but I’m excited to read this one.Â

Me too, it sounds bonkers! I think I'm going to pre-order.

Anyone ever read "Hellstone" by Steven Spruil? Thinking of picking this one up and am hoping that someone can push me over the edge. Also, just noticed that SubPress has a pre-order for it available even though Centipede hasn't announced yet.

That’s one I haven’t read. Kind of surprising that I haven’t, as World War II -set horror always catches my attention.

It is a good creepy read. A slim volume full of demonic atmosphere.

I haven't read anything from Masterson, but my copy of Hell Candidate arrived today. Who knows when it'll get read but it's there for when that time comes.

That's a new one to me, too. I'll have to look into that.

  I still enjoy Devils of D-Day.

My experience has been that older Masterton is better Masterton…I’ve tried a couple new’ish ones, and like Simon Clark and Dean Koontz the later stuff just doesn’t hold up to his earlier work.

My only experience with Masterton, save some smattering of short stories, was A Terrible Beauty, which I found to be a fairly boring procedural that hinged on a plot twist that was very hard to believe. Out of curiosity, I checked out Goodreads to see how it was rated and found that it was the first in an 11 (!) book series. Maybe it was just a rough start or something.
