S. by Claude Kendall, about whom I wrote at The Passing Tramp. I had the same reaction John did and will be blogging about it too!The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-71225592546949499442014-07-13T18:18:04.514-05:002014-07-13T18:18:04.514-05:00Oops.

For Salt he published the best British Horror.<br /><br />Salt is an odd publisher, poetry, literary fiction & studies and a lot more. Worth a look.<br /><br />The book Twisted Clay, sounds intriguing, another one on the want list. Thanks <br /><br />On a slightly different note, I picked up a copy of Dark Entries by Robert Aickman in the new Faber and Faber re-issues (lovely book.), Cold hand in Mine had sold out which is good news but means I have to wait for it to be re-ordered.<br /><br />As for Aickamn, British Pathe put a lot of old newsreels on Youtube and you can see him on several, most notably he can be seen Barge Rally 1961. The place I gleaned this information from was on Johnny Mains website on blogger, he has a list of films on Aickman and MR James post 19 April 2014.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />WayneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-15852906764192010172014-07-11T09:56:56.662-05:002014-07-11T09:56:56.662-05:00I think I knew of the existence of this but heard ...I think I knew of the existence of this but heard of it so long ago I'd forgotten most of the details. This really IS "Friday's Forgotten Book" and thank you for bringing it back to us -- it sounds important and significantly ground-breaking. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-59713943514704274302014-07-11T02:57:28.315-05:002014-07-11T02:57:28.315-05:00Thanks for the fine review, John.
