IN THE KINGDOM OF MESCAL
Formatted like a traditional kids’ story book, complete with imposing full-page illustrations, it’s a traditional mythology-based tale in many respects.
ICE
This bizarre novel is widely acclaimed as the masterpiece of England’s Anna Kavan (1905-1968).
THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND
One of the true classics of the supernatural, this bizarre novel can almost be viewed as avant-garde sci-fi.
THE HOUSE OF FEAR
The late Leonora Carrington was a world-renowned painter and designer, and also one of the most interesting authors to emerge from the surrealist movement.
HÉLOÏSE
Sometimes, to get to the really good stuff the horror fiction buff must look outside the horror shelves for mislabeled genre fiction. One example would be this “surreal fairy tale,” an impressive 100 page exercise in contained apprehension.
HELL HOUND
Now that I’ve finally managed to excavate a copy I can understand, at least partially, why HELL HOUND by Ken Greenhall has been so widely ignored.
THE HALLOWEEN TREE
This kid book trifle isn’t Ray Bradbury’s best work, but is nonetheless an extremely readable and erudite display of imagination and phantasmagoric imagery.
THE GRIN OF THE DARK
I was doubly startled by THE GRIN OF THE DARK, easily Campbell’s finest book in years.
THE GREEN ROUND
The elusive final novel by Arthur Machen, one of horror fiction’s most distinct and influential talents.
THE GREAT VICTORIAN COLLECTION
THE GREAT VICTORIAN COLLECTION compels one’s interest throughout, despite an admittedly meandering narrative.
