#Bookmail from the lovely people at Valancourt who truly do the world a service by reprinting some fabulous and sometimes long OOP books.
These are the two newest #PaperbacksFromHell from Thomas Tessier and they look fantastic. Should be able to get to them in November (hopefully, haaaa) but for now they look right at home amongst my other vintage paperbacks and PFH.

Check out my #review of The Pack by David Fisher. One of the better written (and least ludicrous) entries in #Valancourt #Books #PaperbacksFromHell series.

Even though the typeset is almost too small for my old-ass eyes, I can't get enough of these re-released horror classics. This is the kind of stuff I grew up taking out from the #library

Today's Reading Activity! The #Valancourt Book of Christmas Ghost Stories, edited by Tara Moore.

«This tale is recommended for perusal late at night, in a lonely house, by an unsnuffed candle, with the wind roaring round the dwelling, the room door ajar into a dark hall-way, and the windows rattling in the most supernatural manner.»

Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories vol 4

I am still #reading these, but am already compelled to tell you all that these two books are collectively infecting my mind with their insidiously disquieting prose and imagination.

Black Maybe by Attila Veres & Effects Vary by Michael Harris Cohen: wow.
