The Song of Songs: The World's First Great Love Poem (Modern Library Classics)

9 reviews

Modern Library, 2006

Profoundly Sensual
How wonderful you are, O Love, how much sweeter than all other pleasures! But to try to quote from the Song is like hunting for a rabbit's foot. Or trying to cook only a spoonful of soup. The lovers are stoked with the such desperate passion, that no matter the circumstance, the politic, or the law, they bestow on themselves and, now, thanks to the translation, on us, a profound ...

The Best of H. P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre

136 reviews
H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch

Del Rey, 1987

a master of cosmic horror
Super scary stories from the master. The Rats in the Walls is about a guy who finds a whole hidden netherworld underneath his house. Pickman's Model is about an artist who paints scary subjects. In The Vault is about a night spent trapped in a tomb with a zombie. The Music of Erich Zann is, like Pickman's Model, about demonic inspiration. The Whisperer in Darkness is one of the longest stories, ...

About this edition . . . .
I will not try to write a complete review, since I see that there are already 17 reviews available here, several of fine quality. This edition is of great interest because it issues from Arkham House. Arkham House publishing was founded by August Derleth, a protege of H.P. Lovecraft who himself wrote a rather large volume of pastiche material using the Cthulhu mythos of Lovecraft. One motive ...

IDW Publishing, 2007

A THROWBACK TO 1970'S HORROR MAGS
The bronze age of comics is the most overlooked of the various comic book eras. It doesn't have the historical significance of the Golden Age, the panache of The Silver Age's rejuvenation of comic books, or the gritty realism of the Modern Age. But one thing that the Bronze Age could boast, that none of the other eras could, was the great black & white horror magazines of the 70's. Because ...

Robert Bloch

Hard Case Crime, 2008

Double hitter
This was fast-paced fun and a great way to get back up to speed after reading "Zero Cool," the only dud put out by Richard Aleas at Hard Case Crime. What a wonderful idea -bringing back those old two-in-one, upside down cover paperbacks of my youth. Richard Bloch is always a sure thing. Thank you Hard Case Crime for putting me back on track. Do some more of these. This is cool! Too cool! ...

Psycho

Robert Bloch

Amereon Ltd, 1984

Brilliant!
Having loved the film for years, I thought it was time to read the book that inspired it. What a delight. The writing is suspenseful and clear. The characters are well drawn and three dimensional. The intersection of chapters that allows the reader to see what different characters are doing simultaneously is dynamic and keeps the reader intrigued. As for the story itself, well it is ...

Batman: Gotham By Gaslight

1 review
Brian Augustyn

DC Comics Inc., 1989

Wasted potential
Gotham at the turn of the century, the steam era, that great cover- it looks awesome, doesn't? The idea is great. It starts off great. But the story seems to loose track of itself and fall from what it could have been to an awkward attempt to push a Jack the Ripper mystery into the Batman backstory. The art was attractive and fitting, and there were definite little highlights sprinkled about ...

The book is great. It was what I expected and it came so soon after ordering.

Robert Bloch

Citadel, 1998

A Bloch Party
Robert Bloch's first volume of complete stories is gruesome fun. Some of his most famous and chilling short stories can be found in this collection. Many of these stories were translated into either film by Amicus productions (The House That Dripped Blood, Asylum, Torture Garden, Tales from the Crypt, etc.) or made into a radio play. Among the great stories contained are "Mannikins of Horror" ...

Wildside Press, 2001

A gem from the golden age of fan writing.
Robert Bloch was one of those rare creatures who didn't stop his fannish writing when he turned pro. Like Bob Shaw and Terry Carr, he continued to turn out hilarious writing for fanzine editors despite the pressures of a professional career. This is a collection of truly funny short pieces that were published in the fanzines of the 50s. It contains essays about the conventions of the time, ...

Mysteries of the Worm

Robert Bloch

Chaosium, Inc., 1993

Robert Bloch's contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos
Mysteries of the Worm is a collection of early Robert Bloch stories, several of which had not seen print in over four decades, based on the Cthulhu Mythos cosmology created by H. P. Lovecraft. As a teenaged burgeoning author, Bloch attained a place in the lofty Lovecraft Circle in the two or three years before HPL's untimely death, and his early writing was heavily influenced by Lovecraft. The ...
