Classic Horror Lovers discussion

I just bought this book after tracking it through the "True Detective" series and the references to "Carcosa" and "The King in Yellow". Not started to read it yet , and will say more later, but just wanted to mention it for the benefit of other people who may not have known of it.

I just bought it a week or so ago as well. Interested in doing a buddy read on it?

The first 4 or 5 stories were fantastic, (I thought) and those are the ones that are loosely interrelated.
After that, the tales vary..I mentioned it in my review, once of them is a romance type of tale that I didn't read at all, though I did try.

Ken,
Sure.
How does that work?
Do we each post comments about it throughout the read, or post a review at the end?

How about reviewing each story and posting thoughts along the way. Use spoiler tags. I can set up a thread in the Book Discussion Threads section for the buddy read. When do you want to start?

I would like to start straightaway, if that works. I am very interested to read this book, as I noticed that there are a number of music groups that are influenced by "Carcosa" (not as many as influenced by HPL, of course).
Posting a comment along the way sounds good.

Ready when you are! The thread is set up!

we did a reading of "The Yellow Sign" on PSEUDOPOD, for those interested (as always, it's free!)

Charlene, which stories did you skip? Just wondering.

Mike Davis at The LovecraftEzine is rolling out a print version of his "KIY" issue featuring Joseph S. Pulver Sr. : http://lovecraftzine.com/2014/04/02/t...

The very last two, Ken.
