That's a bit of mine

[David Kartos]

Only have one small orange bookcase that I found by a dumpster the other day . Not having a photo , I can at least post a list .

The Metal Monster - A. Merrit , Lovecraft's Library

Franz Kafka - America . Period czechoslovak edition (1962) with wonderfully wacky introduction which claims Kafka hated capitalism , felt something of the truth of socialism , yet was a failure in not seeing the right path and finaly that the "rotting" capitalist culture purposefully omits mentioning America because it does not fit it's schemes to misuse the working class .

Hans of Iceland by Victor Hugo - a slovak edition I stole from my library and finished in like two days .

The Mask of Cthulhu by August Derleth - 1976 Panther edition

Cold Harbour by Franci Brett Young/Sinister House by Leland Hall - Lovecraft's library

An exchange of souls by Barry Pain/Lazarus by Henri Beraud - Lovecraft's Library

The Lurker at the Threshold - August Derleth - though this Carroll and Graf edition only has Lovecraft's name written in GIANT font on the cover with a tiny footnote mentioning Derleth

Moreaue's Other Island by Brian Aldiss - yet to read

Concrete Island by J.G.Ballard - yet to read

How like a god by Rex Stout - one of the most remarkable weird books ever written

The Half Pint Flask by DuBose Heyward - original 1929 edition , only cost 10 bucks because there was no dust jacket and the pages were cut unprofesionaly

"Faces Dissapeared" by Tom Kristensen

"Fantastical Stories" - colection of Balzac , Bulwer-Lytton , Dickens , Gogol , Maupassant , Pu-Sung Ling , PLinius and Poe

"Hpouse of a thousand floors" by Jan Weiss - fantastical novel of the weirdest sort

(more to come.....unless I forget )

edit :

The Red Flower -a colection of moody pieces by russian tsarist era writer Garshin

Rehersals for oblivion - fan pastiches of the King in Yellow mythos

"A domino Brick" by František Pilař - quite forgotten story about the fate of a doomed man and a small domino brick that can destroy the world .

John Sinclair - "Vampire Skeletons" - one of those pulpy things sold at news stands

The Sarban Omnibus : Ringstones /The Sound of His horn/The Doll Maker by Sarban

The Oldest God by Stephen McKenna - a 1926 weird novel that is very dissapointing in many respects

The connoiusseur and other stories by Walter De La Mare -original hardback , cheap as hell , anybookworld.com supplied .

"Weird Stories" - a 1920 colection of weird tales by french catholic writer Ernest Hello

"The testament of Odysseus" by Walter Jens - a historical fantasy/philosophical book with Odysseus as the protagonist .

The house of the black ring by Fred Lewis Patte - signed by the author , minimaly weird romance of the Romeo/Juliet sort

[Craig Herbertson]

Concrete island is very good. Sarban I haven't read much of by looks pretty good.

[David Kartos]

That's not all of it , but it was prety late yesterday . Anyways Sarban isn't bad
you can actualy find the colection online for free at Black mask online . Try "The Sound of His Horn" .

[Craig Herbertson]

Right,

I read the Sound of his Horn and a couple of other things. I nearly bought a collection at the WHC but didn't have the readies.

[David Kartos]

I'd personaly like to see his short stories , the ones excluded from that omnibus .

By the way , isn't it kind of misleading to call it an "omnibus" and then not include any of his supernatural short stories ? At least I know there are more thanks to the Supernatural Fiction Database .
