Re: They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

I just finished reading McCoy's novel, and I'm impressed with both the humor and the bleakness. Now I have to go back and review what Ligotti had to say about the novel in CATHR...

Re: Carnival of Souls

Great suggestion! Powell's Peeping Tom is a wonderfully nasty little piece of Brit cinema. I need to see that one again, especially after having seen Mike Patton's band of the same name a few weeks...

Re: THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE HUMAN RACE Published at TLO

Re: Favorite Bands?

I hadn't thought of Pere Ubu in a long time - I used to love that band when I was in college; 390[sup:6dcb14d499]0[/sup:6dcb14d499] of Simulated Stereo was quite an eye-opener to my once young and...
