For today's countdown to Halloween's post, a picture of a book found by the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. It is titled Scottish Tales of Terror and what a great cover it has, just pulpy enough, with a ghoulish probably undead Scottish warrior. Who would have thought that my favourite author enjoyed horror stories. Well, he was extremely well read in all genres, so I guess this is no surprise that some books of horror were to be found on his bookshelves. And his mother was a Scot, which might also partially explain his interest. So anyway, I saw this and now I want to get my hand on another book. Life is so unfair.
Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.
That cover is AWESOME! I would read this book base on that alone but you add in Scottish and it makes it even better.
