For no reason whatsoever, I have decided to try to collect the entire 43 issue run of All Hollows: The Journal of the ghost story society. If anybody has any issues they would like to trade or sell, keep me in mind. Thanks!

Just read that Peter Straub died! Damn, I hope that it is untrue, but, the sources seem reliable. Am very bummed as this a favorite author for sure. I know it was not his most popular book; however, I still think about The Skylark all the time.

It's true. Multiple sources are reporting it including the New York Times. I'm at a loss for words. Straub is to me what King is to others. Matheson's A Stir of Echoes unlocked the door to the horror genre for me, but it was Straub's Ghost Story that blew that door off the hinges. It was revelatory. I want to write more, but right now I'm just sad. My condolences to his loved ones. I've been flirting with the idea, but now in remembrance of him, I'm going to go back and read all of his fiction in chronological order.

I am gutted. Another great gone. Always hoped for that follow-up to Black House. The man could tell a story for sure.

Best of luck to you. Hope it can be worked out quickly.

Well I really do have a medical issue this time. I've been experiencing an unusual problem for a guy. I had my first visit with a nurse practicioner this week about the issue and I see a specialist in three weeks. I'm done with the quack doctor who scared me earlier this year....I fired him!

Good luck. I hate medical stuff. I almost passed out at my daughter's dermatologist appointment when they started talking about mole removal. I asked them to stop talking about it for a minute, and when they looked at me they said I was as gray as a corpse.

Adam Cesare's Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives is out today! Just picked-up my copy! Am super excited for this one as I really enjoyed the first book (which actually ended up winning a Stoker award in its category).

That's an awesome addition Ron - congrats!

Wow Congrats, was it Ronald Kelly?

Good guess, and I would still someday like to get my hands on that Thunderstorm Essential Ronald Kelly series, but no, it’s not Kelly. It’s not even horror, for that matter (though Lansdale and FPW and Joyce Carol Oates did contribute).

I picked up volumes 1 to 35 of the signed/numbered HC editions of the Bibliomystery Series from Mysterious Bookshop:

…and at a heckuva sweet deal.

I also have three others beyond 35 (currently up to 42 volumes), so have a few more to pick up to make it a complete set.

This series has been on my radar for many years, but I didn’t really consider pursuing it until recently. Then this instant-collection deal showed up, and I couldn’t pass it up.
