I always had a soft spot for the ol’ spook

Who Was Edgar Allan Poe? by Jim Gigliotti

January 11, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Once you recommend one book in the Who Was series (Who Was, Who Is, even What Is) you have pretty much said everything you need about them. They are fun, simple, and while might not get “down and dirty” you do find a little dust here and there. I tend to like the books about people over the “things” or events (though the Ice Age was interesting as it showed that we are still learning about it, even though it seems like something that is […]

Tricks? Nope! Only Treats Here!

Goblin Moon by Jacqueline Rogers

Witch's Cat: Apply Within by Joy H. Davidson

The Ghosts Go Marching by Claudia H Boldt

Little Poet Edgar Allan Poe: Nevermore! by Kate Coombs

October 15, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Halloween is the most awesome holiday. I am known for going overboard for a costume (two and a half hours for hair and makeup anyone?) and scarfing down candy. But I also like the fun books that come out of it. Since this year, things are a little different and if you are not going to be able to (or do not want to) go on a traditional trick-or-treating night, I suggest finding these books and starting a reading treat night. Goblin Moon by Jacqueline […]

The First Detective: The Complete Auguste Dupin Stories by Edgar Allan Poe

July 27, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This is a collection of the Dupin mystery stories from Edgar Allan Poe. I know that at some point in my life I read these, either for a class, or in that way that teenagers in the US who love to read have their “obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe” moments. And because I grew up in Virginia, lived in both Baltimore, and Richmond, we love love love Poe around these parts. But I don’t remember the specifics or the experience of reading these. They are […]

Oldies But Goodies

The Weiser Book of The Fantastic and Forgotten by Judika Illes

August 5, 2017 by sabian30 Leave a Comment

The Fantastic and Forgotten, edited by Judika Illes (2016) – Usually when I review anthologies, I summarize individual stories and give an overall judgement, but this anthology is such a unique concept, I must discuss the entire anthology as a whole. First of all, I’d never heard of Weiser Books who published this anthology.  They publish occult, esoteric, speculative, and New Age works.  This collection, however, publishes stories of forgotten authors from the 1800s, mostly English, and includes such surprising (and not forgotten) authors such […]
