Finished reading: BLACK SWORD HACK by Kobayashi 📚 I’ve been re-reading the Elric series and tempted to run a RPG inspired by the series. Black Sword Hack seemed like a good place to start.
For the last two years, I read one story by H. P. Lovecraft a day during October. This year, I planned to read Thomas Ligotti, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Maybe next year. Instead, I’m reading Lovecraft Unbound and The Dark edited by Ellen Datlow, Algernon Blackwood: The Complete Supernatural Stories by Algernon Blackwood, and Complete Works (Novels, Poems, Horror Short Stories And Others) by Arthur Machen.
Finished reading: Creepy presents Berni Wrightson: the definitive collection of Bernie Wrightson’s stories and illustrations from the pages of Creepy and Eerie by Bernie Wrightson 📚 I picked this up a year ago, and I’ve been waiting until October to read one story a day. There are tales I’ve never read before, and classics I cherish, like “A Martian Saga,” “The Laughing Man,” and H. P. Lovecraft’s “Cool Air.” 🎃
Finished reading: Polostan by Neal Stephenson 📚 I added this book to my stack a year ago, not knowing much about it except that one of my favorite authors, Neal Stephenson, wrote it. I still have no idea what the series is about, other than that this novel introduced us to our protagonist.
