Sad Marsh Ghost Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Sad Marsh Ghost

Despite its stature and influence, as well as loving his novel Harvest Home, I've never read Thomas Tryon's The Other. Amending that now. https://t.co/JEzFLlCbFs

Hard to rate T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land as I find parts incomprehensible due to either the obscurity of the allusions or the use of non-English languages, but I love it nonetheless for its amazing and terrifying imagery.

I've read Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher 800 times and couldn't tell you for sure what the fuck is going on. As with Kubrick's The Shining or the the best of Aickman a vital piece seems to be missing and the ending is an answer to an unfathomable question.

I'm rereading Grant Morrison's Superman Action Comics run. Generally good, but very frustrating structurally with awkward mid-action discursions into obscure continuity, which belies the general idea of this as a reboot and jump on point. https://t.co/cJBbMQi1rG

Now reading Phantoms by Dean Koontz. I thought Watchers was OK, but more of a sentimental thriller than horror. I'm told this is more horrific. Also I hear Ben Affleck is the bomb in the film version.

Rereading Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Delirious, tasteless, reactionary and expertly told. One of the prime modern examples of a right-wing masterpiece and fascinating to study. Brilliant and evil.

The game name drops Stephen King a bunch of times, but I dunno if the devs have even read one of his novels. A big thing is then made about how horror stories can't have happy endings. The majority of King's novels do. I dunno wtf Wake is on about.

Lowering my Goodreads score to a 3. I'm sure Alan Moore will never recover. His Swamp Thing run is my favourite comic. He's the master. Usually. I'm also not that keen on his writing for The Killing Joke and the prose sections of the otherwise sublime Providence.

Revisiting Algernon Blackwood's horror novella The Willows. Always found this line funny: “The island’s much smaller than when we landed," said the accurate Swede. Accurate Swede would make a good name for a band.
