Ah, cheer up, Steve. I am under forty and I have heard of Dennis Wheatley. Hey, I've even read a couple of his books! :D Actually, I am not sure offhand how many I have read, but I know it is more than half of them. Most of the ones I haven't read are probably Roger Brook novels, plus a few of the D...

I just finished this one. Overall, I have rather enjoyed the other Sallust novels that I have read (Black August, Contraband, They Used Dark Forces, Scarlet Impostor, Faked Passports, and The Black Baroness). This one, while it wasn't bad, just seemed a bit dull and dragged in many places. It almost...

Thank you kindly, Darren. That's pretty much what we were going for. The entire album has a legend/mythology theme to it. We chose titles that we felt fit each piece that dealt with some legend or dark part of history. None of it is really uplifting, happy stuff. Your comments remind me of how Night...

I am looking forward to this one-- for sure (take a shot, Darren). I dig the Rohmer stuff that I have read thus far, which is right a couple of the Fu Manchu books, Brood of the Witch Queen, and Romance of Sorcery. I have even less luck finding Rohmer's books than I do finding Wheatley's. I wonder i...

I'll just use this as an excuse to say that The Devil Rides Out is a classic novel. This is a shocking revelation, I know. It has atmosphere, suspense and a grand sense of adventure. The film version is one I would actually like to see remade, but not because the original was bad, rather because so ...

I just wish somebody would type these out, as I have some difficulty reading Wheatley's handwriting. Of course, his poor spelling doesn't help. I got that there was a bishop from Birmingham and some frisky business ensues, but there are various words that I can't make out, so I have to guess at what...

I am glad you enjoyed the emails I sent to them, Darren. I just sent them another, since they were interested in the horror fest I went to last weekend. This time I wrote a bit about the Devil Rides Out movie, since I didn't before. They are quite likeable and funny guys that genuinely love what the...

I finally got a copy of this issue a few weeks back. I have not yet found the follow-up issue, though. It was an expensive magazine, but it was still cheaper than what it would have cost for me to order it online and have it shipped here. The price for the magazine online was usually much lower than...

I have been a fan of the film version since before I knew who Dennis Wheatley was. I rented it on VHS from a video store and it stuck in my mind. It wasn't until I got my first Dennis Wheatley novels, Haunting of Toby Jugg and Ka of Gifford Hillary (the stupid-looking Mandarin paperbacks), that I pu...

I like the Sallust books in general. It's been a good few years since I read They Used Dark Forces, but I remember liking it, although it was a bit disappointing on certain levels. Mainly, the fact that it is usually referred to as a black magic story, which it really isn't. Astrology isn't black ma...

As it turns out, this magazine is available in the U.S. However, it looks like we're behind a month or two. I found one store that had what was labeled as the June issue and had British super heroes on the cover. Then I found the July issue at a different store, which had something else on the cover...
