When I reread Rosemary's Baby a couple years ago, I went with the e-book because it was a Kindle deal, but when I get the opportunity to check out used books anywhere, I look for an old cool copy of this curdler to add to my bookshelves. The copy I snuck off my parents' bookshelves was the red cover paperback, so I'd love that one or one with the original hardback cover on the left. #memories
#OldCoolBooks #Curdler H.P Lovecraft was born in 1890, wrote for pulps but was never able to make a living by his writing.August Derleth & Arkham House Publishers selected these stories in 1963, but I think this volume dates from the 80s or 90s with its 17.95 cover price & an ISBN on the back.The idea was to consult Lovecrafts original manuscripts & early publications to arrive at a more definitive edition.Still on my TBR.
Here‘s an old book with a tale to curdle your blood. The author was hired to track a female tiger that had killed 460 people (yes, 460) in early 20th-century India. 😮
He went on to help create the first national park in India and the first national reserve for the endangered Bengal tiger (so it all ended well, I guess).

#Curdler: A story that‘s so creepy, gross, etc. that it curdles the blood (not literally, I‘m assuming). I don‘t think I have any old books on my shelves that do that, but I found this first edition S.S. Van Dine at a used book store recently and have become fascinated. He was one of the most popular Depression era writers, and yet I‘d never even heard of him! #OldCoolBooks

My mum has a lovely hard back edition of this classic (this is not it). It sat on my #TBR shelves for years. I had a big clean out a few years ago and gave it back to her, unread. I do intend to get to it....one day. I believe it‘s quite the #curdler.
