"Clap for the Wolfman he's going to reach your record high Clap for the Wolfman you're gonna dig him till the day you die"
I'm halfway through! This book is a blast and a great pre-Halloween threat! Larry Talbot is already my hero! The mad Arab who gave up Islam--Abdul al-Hazred--author of the Necronomicon! I love it! Elder Gods, things in mirrors! Book reminds me of Sercrets of the Illuminati-a sequel to the Illuminatus! trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson (another disciple of Lovecraft, btw)...that featured an assembledge of famous historical figures in a bar.
Here's the question that's be bugging me though: Where do Morris and McCab come from? Robert Bloch's writing? Lin Carter recommended Lovecraft, Clarke Aston Smith, Bloch and August Derleth (in one package) when he first came out with Ballentine's Adult Fantasy Series in the late 70s, and I've read all of them but Bloch? Zelazny acknowledges Shelley, Stoker, Lovecraft, Conan Doyle, Bloch, Ray Bradbury, E.A. Poe and Albert Payson Terhune. And though I've read tons of Brabury--I haven't picked up his reference yet and never even heard of Terhune. And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.
