But I did find a few that appealed to me. You made the writer sound so intriguing and so I went hunting for cheap vintage copies. Also I'm too impatient to wait two full months for them to be released. I now have a copy of THE THREEFOLD CORD and soon will have DARKLING DEATH. I'll read both quickly and have essays ready to post in October the very day that Dean Street releases the first Francis Vivian reprint.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-57821687483107089982018-08-28T04:48:28.432-07:002018-08-28T04:48:28.432-07:00The most black magical ones are non-series, but I ...The most black magical ones are non-series, but I hope those will be reprinted!

Really I am. It's just that I cannot keep up with what I want to read now and here you are tempting me with even more largesse. Woe is me and bring'em on.
