Incredible as it seems, the day after I discovered this blog and read this topic, I was browsing a used books store in Milan that keeps a small selection of original language books and among the usual bestsellers...a dusty copy of Gila! I immediately got it along with another obscurity (to me, at least) called "Land's end". :o)Giulio Uggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884487503810292375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-57848159039165035122012-03-02T18:48:10.063-08:002012-03-02T18:48:10.063-08:00Yeah!

(And <i>Alligator</i> is still in a box somewhere.) I'd binge at used bookstores, grabbing every "Nature Amok" book I could find.<br /><br />But I've NEVER seen <i>Fangs</i>, <i>Gila!</i>, or <i>Rattlers</i>...so, thank you!<br /><br />THEY MUST BE MINE.

That's about when I stopped reading horror originally, and I think a lot of the great cover art ended there too. It's possible I could give Monahan's book a shot at some point, but with so much stuff I'm trying to get to - I'd like to actually read and review more "classic" horror like Machen and Blackwood andWill Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-59826539128983721072012-02-29T02:30:31.514-08:002012-02-29T02:30:31.514-08:00Gotta love creature horror.

I'd buy the Alligator novel just because I'm a sucker for die-cut covers, plus the illustration is very well made.<br />Question regarding "Gila!" - is the novel really about a giant Gila Monster? Or did the artist take some artistic license?Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631388281199815121noreply@blogger.com
