Oh, too many to mention this time! After all, I had about ten days to go around all London bookshops and spend my money there - I spent much more on books than on DVD's, I can tell you that.
The highlights are:
Michael Slade: "Ghoul", "Hangman", "Bed Of Nails"
Richard Laymon: "No Sanctuary", 'Darkness, Tell Us', "Out Are The Lights"
Bentley Little: "The Association"
Peter Straub: "Pork Pie Hat"
and the biographies of Bruce Campbell (finally!) and Michael J. Fox.

The Bruce Campbell bio is awesome! I think I read it in about 2 days.  |

Yeah, it is hilarious! The sole introduction (by the Raimis) killed me... And Bruce's description of his childhood wasn't any worse than it. Wonderful.

Yeah, I laughed the whole way through it. I put my copy up somewhere b/c it's autrographed & now I can't remember where I put it.  I hate it when that happens... |

The last book I purchased was Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Other than that, my Mom works at a library, she's the head librarian and showed my wife and I to a room filled with books that the library was either going to sell or toss and we walked out of there with 2 huge boxes of free books.

The books I got during my successful trip to England:
Bentley Little "The Resort"
Ian Banks "Complicity" and "Whit"
Guy N. Smith "The Slime Beast" and "Wolfcurse" (couldn't resist when I saw the camp covers!)
Richard Laymon "The Lake", "After Midnight" and "Endless Night"
Martin Amis "Visiting Mrs. Nabokov"
Michael Palin "Sahara"
...it's not just about the DVD's, you see!

Yes, he does. He has 5 books of poetry in all. The new one that just came out is a compilation of all the books plus some new stuff.
Actually, he writes about his life and stuff that's happened to him. It's very raw & revealing & honest. It helps you see what kind of person he really is behind the bad-ass image he portrays.
If you go to my Madsen MB & go to the "Poem of the Month" thread under the Books & Poetry section you can read some of his stuff. "Tears" is a great one. Talks about some of the major events in his life that made him who he is today.

Read it for laughs--and don't buy it. |

I bought a collection of horror stories - "Scary!" it's called and looks suspiciously like a teenagers-targeted book, but since it contains stuff by King, Matheson, Asimov, Bierce, Bradbury, Dahl, Campbell, Bloch and more I couldn't resist. Plus it was cheap.

I have that collection. It's awesome.
It has some stories with pretty adult themes (such as the last one, written by Robert Bloch, writer of "Psycho.)

I have that collection. It's awesome. Good to know that! Do you also have the, um, sequel - Scary! 2? I intend to buy it if I like the first one, seems to be in the same vein. |
