    I'm reading " Summer of Night " for probably the fourth time since it came out. It reminds me of how we were growing up in the late 60's and early 70' s . Great book. Takes me back.

    • @jimmymango

      Such a good book! If you like that vibe you should check out Boys Life by Robert Mccammon.

      @@jimmymango Yeah, I've read just about all of MacCammon's books.
      Swan Song was good too.
      Boys life is his best but all his books are worth reading. But not really read any of his Matthew Corbett stuff.
      Probably need too. Have you read and John Skipp and Craig Spector books ?
      Splatterpunk from the early 80' s ?
      Check out " The light at the end ".
      Most of there books are good.
      You can get them on Kindle pretty cheap. The paperbacks are hard, and probably expensive, to find. Good stuff.
      Sorry for the long winded reply. 👍

    "In the dead of night:the mystique of the demonic Igbo mask". The cover is creepy, if feels and looks alive. I dare you get past the cover. The story is unusual,different, non-western and s-c-a-r-y.
