MR. TURTLE
A weird one: a cyborg turtle, constructed as an instrument of war, headlines a Japanese import that functions as a bizarre speculative narrative, a philosophical fable and a surreal mind-tugger
FOG HEART
In my view one of the absoloute finest books by horror writer extraordinaire Thomas Tessier
THE HOUSE THAT GROANED
A graphic novel that’s plenty weird, with a narrative that leans rather heavily into the perverse and psychosexual
THE EXPERIENCE OF THE NIGHT
This 1945 novel is considered the masterpiece of the “French Kafka” Marcel Bealu (1908-1993)
LOCUS SOLUS
The materpiece of France’s Raymond Roussel, and one of the most astonishing displays of unfettered imagination I’ve ever experienced
IMPRESSIONS OF AFRICA (Book)
Raymond Roussel may well be the strangest writer of all time and this 1910 novel offers ample proof of that claim
THE MANITOU
The first and most famous novel by the ultra-prolific UK horrormeister Graham Masterton
THE TAKE
The rarest novel by Australia’s Kenneth Cook, credited here as “John Duffy”
SAX ROHMER’S DOPE
Yet another vital release from IDW that despite some enthusiastic notices did a fast fade
THE MAN FROM THE GREAT NORTH
A beautifully designed English rendering of a graphic novel that’s considered a classic in its original Italian language form
