Reflections on My Favorite Author, and the Honor of Being Published in a Special Issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly Devoted Entirely to Him
Out of every publication I've ever been included in, I have to say, this one is the greatest honor. H.P.

My search brought me to /r/tipofmytongue, a very helpful forum where users can post everything from B movies they watched while drunk to... Continue Reading →
