Blimey- The House of Lost Souls . I could only manage the first couple of chapters. One of the worst pieces of hackwork I've ever come across (although if I'd known DW was going to make an appearance, I might have persevered). Don't worry--you didn't miss anything. It was only a vaguely accurate po...

I didn't know about that one! I was referring to F.G. Cottam's House of Lost Souls, which makes three.shanedwyer wrote:Is this the first of the two novels (in which DW appears as a character) you're referring to Jim?

Re: Another Wheatley curiosity
"It pits history’s most esteemed escape artist, Harry Houdini, and his friend, bestselling novelist, Dennis Wheatley, against ancient evil in the small New England town of Dunwich." Interesting to see DW as a character in two novels in just a few years. History be damned: Wheatley's first book wa...

Re: Curious set of DW posters
If you've not seen these then you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have only just discovered them and I love them. You can't see it clearly but the wine is a 1973 Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon. I, of course, was more interested to see what the books were... :D (Thanks so much for sharing that!)

It does not show on their (Strange Attractor) site yet. Their book on "Baron Corvo" was also very late in appearing...Steve Whatley wrote:Well Jim, I ordered on 2 December, and I'm still waiting!

DW and the Yanks
Here's a little trivia question. We know that one of the Modern Musketeers (Rex van Ryn) calls the United States home. Off the top of my head, though, I can think of only two occasions when Wheatley characters visit the U.S.: Gregory Sallust comes to San Francisco in The Island Where Time Stands Sti...

Well a happy New Year to everyone when it comes and if anyone is planning on mixing a DW or two to celebrate then remember "make 'em small, drink 'em quick, four gives you an appetite and here's to crime!" We will certainly raise at least one and think of DW and all our friends in DW both still her...
