Corporate space, horror, folks. Like what happens when the water cooler on the enterprise breaks down? Then all of a sudden the water in said cooler is black crude? I’m calling shenanigans on that one.

Jean Ray - wow. My new obsession! Belgian writer whose best known works were penned during the Second World War. I’ll feature three fantastique works published by one of my favorite small presses specializing in German Expressionist to French Surrealism and all things strange with reside with the glorious liminal space which lie in between and surrounding, beneath, above, below, etc…

Malperitus - Gothic horror. Crumbling, ancient house where a dying warlock has trapped the aging Olympian gods inside the "skins" of ordinary Flemish citizens. There was a film adaptation in 1971 starring ORSON FREAKIN’ WELLES!!! Get on it people!

The City of Unspeakable Fear - horror baby, horror with a murder mystery to boot. 1943, published a mere eight days after the above mentioned Malperitus during N**i occupation. War, gets the juices flowing dear friends. A Scotland Yard officer in a sleepy English town trying to solve a series of ghastly murders, it follows a retired police clerk mistaken for a master detective as locals face a wave of ghostly violence. Get haunted, get ghostly, get weird!!!

Cruise of Shadows - H-h-h haunted stories of land and sea. That description immediately brings up Hodgson to me, House on the borderlands and of course Carnacki, the original Fox Mulder, ghost detective. Aside from his adventures into a Scullyless X-Files, he sure did love his nautical adventures and included the strange, liminal and flat out wacky seafaring ocean based peregrinations. But enough about Hodgson and his house on the borderlands. Cruise of shadows was written during a stent in prison. “ Misappropriation of funds”. Yeah, that means embezzlement for all you interested. Seems like everybody was embezzling back, then especially from the N**is. F**k them. My timeline of N**i occupation might be off so don’t quote me on that. This book is just what it sounds like haunted stories of land and Sea not much more to say about it without getting into spoiler territory, but check it out 17 nautical miles, dear friends.

Well, welcome to the world of Jean Ray. Stop by and pick yourself up a copy of one of the three mentioned gems.

Adieu,
