Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've read. Let's look at Ring from 1991! Originally published in Japan as Ringu. I am so glad I decided to read this! Even more creepy and terrifying than the movie. Of course the movie is very different because it's the Americanized version. If I had read the book before I had seen the movie, I wouldn't have watched The Ring, I would have searched for Ringu and watched that instead. I'm c

Grab a cuppa and a stack of books and let the reading begin! Happy Book Birthday to Patrick Tumblety's In Light of Darkness Patrick Tumblety wrote a deeply personal collection of poetry and short works, In Light of Darkness, released by Blood Moon Publishing and Uncomfortably Dark. Through reading it, I feel as if I have met Patrick. I know he was an often misunderstood boy who loved comics (especially Superman) and video games. D&D factors into some of the poems, too. He is

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've read. Let's look at The Wolf's Hour from 1989! I had heard such great things about this book and I have to say I was disappointed in it. I know I'm in the minority when I say that, but it just didn't do it for me as a werewolf book. If I ignore the fact that Michael Gallatin is a werewolf, I will say this was a great WWII thriller! The first reason I was disappointed is that there is

Exploring The Labyrinth In this series, I will be reading every Brian Keene fiction book that has been published (and is still available in print) and then producing an essay on it. With the exception of Girl On The Glider, these essays will be based upon a first read of the books concerned. The article will assume you’ve read the book, and you should expect MASSIVE spoilers. I hope you enjoy my voyage of discovery. THE DAMNED HIGHWAY Essay 31 Welcome back. As I type, the mon

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've enjoyed. Let's look at Header from 1995! The first thing I want to say is I was shocked to learn that a book published two years after I graduated High School could be considered "vintage". The second thing I want to say is this book is vile. I just don't have any other words to describe it. I'm not new to extreme/splatterpunk horror but this book takes the cake! I guess that's why Le

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've enjoyed. Let's look at Witch, Witch, Burning Bright from 1972 ! I bought this solely based on the cover and the title. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it's not a novel, but a teleplay of an episode of the show Sixth Sense from the 70s (not to be confused with the Bruce Willis movie). The format of the book made it a quick read. But even though it was a quick read it was still ve

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've enjoyed. Let's look at The Fungus from 1985! Another random book purchase that was a very good choice! When I bought it I didn't realize it was from 1985. And I was surprised to find out that the author name is a pseudonym for John Brosnan and Leroy Kettle. This book was so weird and unsettling it's amazing that two people had the same weirdness rolling around in their heads. If ever
