Weird Fiction discussion

Edward R. Hamilton currently has some collections of the Jules de Grandin stories at deep discount:

Wow! Those are hardcover, not just eBooks. If I hadn't spent so much recently on three Howard Wandrei collections....

Even though it will add a chunk to my to-read shelf, I couldn't resist.

I've got a bit of an essay on Quinn and Robert E. Howard, for whomever is interested: http://onanunderwood5.blogspot.com/20...

Interesting--glad I have lots of naked girl torture to look forward to!

I got my shipment from Hamilton and the books all look brand new. Got about $150 worth of books for around $40, can't beat that!

That's great! Can you answer a question for me? A lot of the original stories came with illustrations. Are these included in the book? "Satan's Stepson," for example, from the September 1931 issue of Weird Tales, had this one on the second page of the story: https://archive.org/details/WeirdTale.... I'd really like to read these stories WITH the illustrations.

P.S. Has anyone here ever considered naming their future son Seabury?

These collections are not illustrated. They do have quite nice covers by Donato Giancola, though.

I am thinking of changing my name to Seabury.

I think I want to be buried at sea.

Can you bury someone in water?

Sure! Any of three ways: https://personalfinance.costhelper.co...

That's a really impressive piece, very well researched. I was particularly interested in the little it had to say about Roads, our Yuletide group read next month.
