Two Envelopes And A Phone
is 48% done
A story called ‘Ghost’, and then I finally arrive at my re-read of ‘The Autopsy’. The tales have been very odd, the style at times feeling a bit over-dressed. But this has been a unique experience. Traces of Ray Bradbury and Ramsey Campbell both, and very unsettling. Nails-to-chalkboard effect, at times.

I was going to re-read 'The Autopsy' first, but I have decided to creep up on it, and read the stories in the order presented. I just read 'The Horror on the #33', and 'Salome'. Themes of masks, transformations, the displaced and confused self, and revenge stirred into justice.

is starting
Not long ago, I told my friend that ‘The Autopsy’ by Michael Shea was my favorite short Horror tale. He tried to chase down the famous anthology I originally discovered it in, but it seems it’s out of print. So he ordered this, and has lent it to me. I want to get it back to him soon, so I can’t be dipping into it between novels. This will be my 3rd read of ‘The Autopsy’…plus stories I’ve never read before!

Nothing else in this book has quite matched it - so Nifft the Lean, and 'The Autopsy' remain the must-read stuff from this author, IMO. Still, this has been an interesting book, and I'm glad the TV version of 'The Autopsy' helped get this book into print, so people could read the source material.
