saturday scoop







carpe librum 

 seize the book!  What a great thought.

Welcome book lovers 


saturday scoop features a "scoop" on books- whether it's my review or other book related news you may have missed. 




this directly connects to my post last saturday: 


i'm a sucker for campy, over the top books. i'd prefer it if they were well written but sometimes the bad can be fun...and a genre that comes into play when i think about this is horror.

valancourt books is republishing some horror novels from the 70/80's.

take a look at their first offering: 




It was just an ordinary garbage dump on peaceful Cape Cod. No one ever imagined that conditions were perfect for breeding, that it was a warm womb, fetid, moist, and with food so plentiful that everything creeping, crawling, and slithering could gorge to satiation. Then a change in poison control was made, resulting in an unforeseen mutation. Now the giant mutant cockroaches are ready to leave their nest--in search of human flesh
Following in the footsteps of other "animal attack" classics like Jaws and The Rats, Gregory A. Douglas's shocker The Nest (1980) is an '80s paperback horror classic and was the basis for a 1988 cult film adaptation. This edition features a new introduction byToo Much Horror Fiction blogger Will Errickson.
