Mid-July Book Shopping Interlude

I've been hard at work on two short projects I'll be writing about here in the next couple of days. In the meantime, since it was a bit cooler today (and my eyes were going Hammer-red from staring at my computer) I had lunch downtown and hit the World's Biggest Bookstore on Edward St. in downtown Toronto today. In addition to their always wonderful support of local writers, like yours truly...



...there's never a shortage of great books on sale to pick up for a song. I found this one today. This is the sort of marked down coffee table book that makes horror writers instinctively reach for their credit cards. I used to work at this store back in the mid-80s when I was getting started as a writer. You know how some bookstores just smell like bookstores? Well, this one does. Feels like home.


Keep cool, and stay tuned. I'll be back over the weekend with some updates.

    I love a good find in a forgotten corner of the bookstore although I'm not sure 'Old Canadian Cemeteries' is for me... I've been meaning to ask if you've ever read Under The Skin by Micheal Faber? It's a rather gruesome book with touches of horror and Sci Fi that I really think will appeal to you.

    No, I haven't Dom, but I'll check it out, for sure. And frankly, now that these two assignments are finished, I'm looking forward to perusing it over the course of the weekend!
