I was obsessed with this Lady Book About Pirates when I was much younger. I have no idea who the artist was who did the wonderful pictures. Do you know @LBFlyawayhome ?
More stunning Victor Ambrus art. These images are from a book my parents gave me as a child, Daniel Farson’s THE HAMLYN BOOK OF HORROR, published in 1979. One of my most treasured possessions
I have to confess that I had never heard of the commercial illustrator Victor Ambrus, who has just died at the age of 91, but his art adorned so many of the books of my childhood. Indeed, it was probably the initial reason I read many of them
My latest piece for @CrimeReads on the supernatural neo noir thrillers of the late William Hjortsberg & his sequel to the first Harry Angel novel, FALLING ANGEL, ANGEL’S INFERNO, has made me realise how many great posters Alan Parker's 1987 film had

Okay, time to change things up a bit with William Castle’s THE NIGHT WALKER (1964).
@MrJThomson Good one. We also do movie night on Fridays, again we take it in turns. This was last night’s effort, picked by my daughter who is a sucker for a Bond film
Today’s hot take. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977) is a hot mess (in a wonderful way) but it has one of the best Bond theme songs in the franchise.
Today's object of cultural fascination are these beautiful illustrations by John Schoenherr from THE ILLUSTRATED DUNE (1978)
