So, watcha' reading?

"Casebook of Ghosts" by Elliot O'Donnell ... some fine stuff

[Bonomo]

Reading The Governator's new auto-bio Total Recall. Good read.

Yup, read several of them.  There also was a book written by the Judge on Gein's case...can't recall the title of it....but it had a chapter of Gein jokes, which were, as I recall, gruesomely amusing...

That would be: Edward Gein: America's Most Bizarre Murderer by Judge Robert H. Gollmar.

It has been out of print for several years now, and Judge Gollmar died in about 1987.  The Ed Gein jokes chapter was great. Mostly a relief after reading about his deeds.

The locals called the jokes "Geiners."

Here are a few:

Q: Why did they have to keep the heat on in Ed Gein's house?
A: So the furniture wouldn't get goosebumps.

Q: Why did Ed Gein's girlfriend stop going out with him?
A: Because he was such a cut-up.

Q: Why won't anyone play cards with Ed Gein?
A: He might come up with a good hand.

Q: What did Ed Gein say to the sheriff who arrested him?
A: "Have a heart!"

Q: Why did they let Ed Gein out of jail for New Year's Eve?
A: So he could dig up a date.


Ed goes into the Cadillac dealership and asks the salesman,
"How much for that Eldorado?"
The salesman says, "It has all the options and extras. It'll cost you an arm and a leg."
Ed Replies: "You've got a deal!"

What is Ed Gein's favorite beer?
Old Milwaukee--it has a lot of body and no head.

"Frame Up", about the Fatty Arbuckle trial.

I just finished The Traveling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon. My first read of his, and I loved it. I'd love to read more of his stuff too. Any suggestions?

[zombiehorror]

Been reading Grimm Fairy Tales from Zenoscope comics, not bad but defenitely not worth searching out!  They take fairy tale concepts and put an EC comic spin on them as it relates to a character in the "real" world!

The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Great book. There's also an audio version on youtube by Ed French. You should check it out.

Been reading Grimm Fairy Tales from Zenoscope comics, not bad but defenitely not worth searching out!  They take fairy tale concepts and put an EC comic spin on them as it relates to a character in the "real" world!

Some of their comics are pretty cool and others are just not worth it.
The big thing with Zenescope is the artwork.

Right now I'm about half-way through an advance reader's copy of Joe Hills NOS4A2. It's not due out until May, so I'll keep mum about specifics, but I will say I'm enjoying it.
