“That book is filthy. Wicked. Dangerous. Yet it feels so comforting to own it.”
Mark McLaughlin, Best Little Witch-House in Arkham

“I happened to run into Anton at the Arkham Public Library just a few days later. I was walking down a shadowy hallway when he came bustling out of the Forbidden, Unspeakably Dangerous, Never-To-Be-Checked-Out-By-Anyone Section with a notepad in his hand”
Mark McLaughlin, Best Little Witch-House in Arkham

“My hands shivered like twin albino bats in an Antarctic ice-cave, assuming such caves served as lodging for such bats. I’m not really sure. They’d have to be pretty hardy bats. What would they eat?”
Mark McLaughlin, Best Little Witch-House in Arkham

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“A self is not something static, tied up in a pretty parcel and handed to the child, finished and complete. A self is always becoming.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet

Socrates

Thank you, Mosquitha! Michael and I try to give all our Cthulhu Mythos stories a unique slant. We appreciate your interest! There are also many others, if you enjoy that one. :-)


Mosquitha Fantastic! Thank you for the advice. I think I will start with The testament of Chtulhu, as I love Lovecraft and I'm looking for new books to get for my Kindle,

Thank you for your interest, Mosquitha! :-) If you're looking for a paperback, I would suggest BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM. Or, if you're not into the Cthulhu Mythos, I would suggest HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS. If you prefer Kindle, I would suggest THE TESTAMENT OF CTHULHU -- or, if you're not into Cthulhu, maybe MAGIC CANNOT DIE. Let me know how you like whatever you select! Thanks! :-)


Mosquitha I want to read one of your books, I am really enticed by the cool artwork and titles, but, which one do you advise as starter?
