Pulp reprints out the WAHZOO!  The Spider, G-8, High Adventure, the Shadow, and Doc Savage have been keeping me warm this winter.

Awesome!! I have several paperbacks of the Shadow from the 60's but haven't had time to dig into them yet.

 Re-read "My Crowd" a collection of Charles Addams cartoons, and currently re-reading Alfred Hitchcock's "Ghostly Gallery" ( for kids, but the stories are still good even after growing up).

Just re-read "Mother Night" by Kurt V Jr and looking for my old copy of "Player Piano" around here somewhere. I must confess both these books were checked out of the Hennepin County Library in about 1970..(sorry Meek) I am a library desperado many times over.

Indeed they are!
A man after my own heart. I have both books, in fact a few copies of Ghostly Gallery; Fred Banbery's creepy, stylized illustrations in the inside covers fascinated me... these are the books that got me hooked very early!
I became a ghost story/horror story junkie by the time I was 7 or 8, and I haunted the libraries in the San Fernando Valley looking for every book I could get my hands on. Charles Addams 'toons were a favorite, along with all of the Hitchcock/Robert Arthur books (Ghostly Gallery, Haunted Houseful, Monster Museum, etc.), a few collections for teens by Robert Bloch, and of course any horror or ghost related books I could get through Scholastic at school.
I still have all of those books! (Well, the ones I bought, not too many library books were swiped! For shame, packy! ;)

I'm dipping into my heavy, hernia-making book NEW YORKER CARTOONs book that contains all 16,000+ cartoons! Bought brand-new at Borders for $15!

Of course, plenty of the great Chas. Addams!

Although I am not now reading one of his books, I love the work of John Mortimer, who just passed away.

The RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY stories and novels are favorites of mine.

Not horror-related, but I'm currently reading "Ways of Seeing", by John Berger.
