I don't have the book, but I believe I read it a long time about when I was about 15 years old I've been trying to find the book again for a while now because I believe there was a story in there about this family of people/creatures who you can only see from the corner of your eye or something. I have been trying to find what that story was called and who wrote it but with no luck ...

Justed ordered the following:

House of Chains -- Steven Erikson
Midnight Tides -- Steven Erikson

Had to order it from Amazon.com rather than Amazon.co.uk because the covers on the books that I already have are from America. But it's only cost me about the same amount of two normal books from a book shop to get them shipped here. And I do like to have matching books.

I went back to the library and their sale today. I got Beyond Heaven's River by Greg Bear and Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davies.

That's 12 books I've bought from the library sale so far.

To quote a famous action hero "I'll be back!"

Yes, you know I'm insanely jeaous now!..... I too am collecting Ashton Smith and Dunsany, so it's always good to see what other folks are picking up.

Meowrr GOLLUM Now you'll have to visit again.

Am done with Chaosium's The Necronomicon and I have to agree with JD that it's a dangerous thing indeed to walk out your front door on a jaunt with Robert M Price. Even when he's obviously having a bit of fun, it's a fascinating read. And he has this nasty little habit of dropping names and titles in his forewords that I then really have to search out and read as well.

Started this morning on The Complete Stories of Robert Bloch Volume 2 - Bitter Ends. Suffice to say that sleep was abandoned and I was almost late to work. About half-way through and it's fascinating thus far.

That would be good but let's wait to see what transpires at worldcons 09 and 10, speaking of which I have some news for 2010 I'll post in the news section under Conventions and Events subforum...
