Having your own private island is easy if you're not fussy about size or location.

I've added five new limited edition prints to the shop at www.tomgauld.com/shop. This is one of them.

Last weekend

Absolutely weeping over the beauty of the Folio Society’s limited edition collected Shakespeare. LOOK at that box. The plays are being kept safe inside the WOODEN O of their HOME the GLOBE and I am DISTRAUGHT. They’ve gotten Judi Dench to write a foreword!

Feel the flutter!

Grim the grin!

Will you help the horrors in?

All Hallow’s Read is @neil-gaiman's tricksy treatsy suggestion: help others discover the exquisite anguish of reading horror stories. Give people mischievous stories, scary books or absolutely terrifying poems, along with the Halloween candy.

What is you favorite scary story? I'd love to know!

------- Like this year's monster? Well thank you <3 Here are all my scary books from previous years. I would most definitely sneak you H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Hound as it is the number one to make my skin crawl. Perhaps, if I knew you were already well traveled in the knee deep mire of horror fiction I would challenge you with the sickly labyrinth that is The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat. /Henning

Henning never ceases to amaze us with his creations!

We love this creature!

Invisible Man Ralph Ellison FYI - this is 1 of 12 vintage paperback classics that comprise our current giveaw@y.

The Mawei Shipbuilding Library is a unique and innovative library that celebrates the history and culture of shipbuilding in Fuzhou.

The interior of the library is designed with shipbuilding in mind. For instance, the staircase resembles the rigging of a ship, and the reading room is designed to resemble the captain’s quarters.

“I felt like I was looking into the future ... and the future looked really messed up.” —from Black Hole

This banned books week, dare to read Charles Burns's "masterwork" (The New York Times) graphic novel—a hypnotically beautiful and horrifying story of a strange plague devastating the lives of teenagers in mid-1970s suburban Seattle.

I don’t know what my true book cover aesthetic is, but I feel like these books kind of fit my mood on this gray, autumn day.

Thanks for tagging me b00kstorebabe and cat-thecatlady!!
