Shelf Life

  1. An Alternate ending to The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt

    Need we say more?

  2. Another Famous Haverhillian

    Something about Rob Zombie, whom we’ve mentioned before on this blog.

  3. Fawning for Fic

    The mere existence of good John Bellairs fanfic would make this blogger’s entire year better. Maybe this person ought to get together with that kid that used to stop by the Bellairsia mailing list. That kid wanted fan fic, too, though we always got the impression he wanted someone else to do it for him. There has been some fan fiction, though, by others.

  4. A Trip to Edward Gorey’s House

    A review of visiting Gorey’s Yarmouthport, Massachusetts estate.

  5. Dixon in Korea

    Longtime fans will remember Johnny Dixon (even if it’s been a while since we’ve seen a new Dixon book) and how his father, Harrison, was fighting in the Korean War. This news story from Van Buren, Arkansas remembers those veterans who fought in the Korea, including one named Johnny Dixon Sr. What are the odds?

  6. Ghosts in mirrors

    Besides the ghost in the mirror that Mrs. Zimmermann is familiar with, there are apparently other ghost in mirrors and books about such.

  7. Another Edward Gorey House

    An evil garden full of Gorey’s creations.

  8. Moth Memories (or, a Bug’s Life)

    “Last night, a giant moth wanted to fly into the office....” Reminded the person of The Face in the Frost.

  9. Whistle and Hum

    Only in a dream would someone find a new Bellairs book....

  10. Selections From H.P. Lovecraft’s Brief Tenure as a Whitman’s Sampler Copywriter

    Need we say more on this, either?
