[DAILY HORROR STUFF | Michael Sellars | Author @HorrorPaperback]

Given the popularity of Kane Parsons' and Will Soodik's Backrooms, here's a trio of books that might scratch the same liminal or liminal-ish itch.

These are indie titles, so no House of Leaves or Picnic at Hanging Rock (though both of those are amazing).

@Weird_Friction I started with the short stories, at least several of them, before jumping over to the novels.

Have those same editions. Love them!

"A creature appears before you. A squamous, unknowable form. The very sight of it drives even the most hardened of men to utter madness"

"I miraculously access my ancestral blood memory, enter a state of atavistic berserk rage, and beat it to death with my bare hands"

@blambot The modern internet is just three SPOF stacked on top of each other in a trench coat.

[Sandy Petersen 🪔 @SandyofCthulhu]

In 1980, I wrote the roleplaying game "Call of Cthulhu". At that time, everyone I knew who had heard about Lovecraft knew of him because I had told them personally. Lovecraft was vanishingly obscure.

Lovecraft was an unknown. I expected Call of Cthulhu to sell a couple thousand copies to the few hard-core Lovecraft fans in the world, and then vanish. I put my heart into it anyway because of my own love for Lovecraft.

Instead, the game turned out to promote Lovecraft and spread knowledge of his works. So many folks played Call of Cthulhu. Many more didn't play it, but knew about it. I have had literally thousands of people walk up to me at conventions and tell me that they read Lovecraft after playing Call of Cthulhu. Others (occasionally in tears) told me that they were so excited to see that someone else knew about Lovecraft. This last encounter is now rare, because everyone knows about Lovecraft.

It is my proudest achievement to have been a tiny part of helping bring cosmic horror to so many.

@Weird_Friction I *just* read this. It'd been sitting on my shelf for the longest time, and I finally wanted to see what the origins of Vancian magic looked like.

The book didn't disappoint. Moves at a quick, pulp pace while remaining polished like a lot of other good midcentury genre writers.

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

@Weird_Friction I only read a few of the Amber novels. Beautiful looking set though - hope you enjoy!

@BarbarianDisco My favorite cover art by Michael Whalen. Says a lot too considering how many amazing covers he's produced.

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

@DamndestBastard @orcwriter Completely agree

Some of the greatest mystery/crime novels of all time.

All under 200 pages.

We need to make this the standard again. Not for all books or all genres, but generally so.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

A tribute to author Howard Andrew Jones: https://t.co/GcSbuTouvK

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Howard Andrew Jones. His Sword & Sorcery/fantasy is among the best of his generation. And his work bringing Harold Lamb's historic fiction back into print allowed new generations to experience some of the greatest adventure writing ever. RIP

[Jacob Ethington @JacobTalks4ever]

If I were forced to pick one scene in Lynch's run that encapsulates his art (which is impossible), my pick is the Llorando sequence in Mulholland Drive.

Even in the dark of our nightmares, the beauty and pain of art can reach us, even if that art is built on nightmares itself.

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

@Weird_Friction I've got a lot of the Wandering Star hardcover/slipcase editions. I've never even heard of the wildside editions. They look great!

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

@DeLoachJW I still want there to be a few final episodes. Life just kind of got in the way.

[A Voice From Darkness @vfdarkness]

@gjkendall You're British and you've read this. Can I ask you a dumb question?

Is 'tallboy' a common term for a kind of cabinet/dresser over there? As an American, I'd never heard that. And I feel like the tallboy is mentioned a thousand times in the first 100 pages.
