FORTRESS

It was the first novel by Australia’s Gabrielle Lord, who based the story on an actual crime that occurred in Australia.

THE FOG

That’s appropriate, as THE FOG is far and away the best of the bunch. For that matter, I feel it’s one of Etchison’s best novels, period.

FLOWERS OF HELL

An attempt at extreme erotica in which the erotic business is far outweighed by the extremity.

THE FIRES OF PELE

A graphic novel of sorts, THE FIRES OF PELE purports to be a lost journal kept by a young Mark Twain during his 1866 sojourn in Hawaii, a.k.a. the “Sandwich Islands,” where he confronted all manner of odd creatures

THE FIRE-SPIRITS

I say Wagner’s praise is a bit overdone, given that THE FIRE-SPIRITS, in its present form at least, is noticeably flawed.

FERAL

Killer kitties? That’s the subject of this novel, one of the first of the “nasties” that would come to define the 1970s horror fiction market.

FEAR IS THE RIDER

FEAR IS THE RIDER also contains a great deal of Cook’s celebrated descriptive power, although that’s ultimately about the only thing it really has in its favor.

Fastyngange

Another novel for those who think they’ve heard it all, it being the story of a talking hole. Yes, a hole, or rather an oubliette, which not only serves as the story’s chief driving force but also narrates the thing.
