2013

I started keeping an online record of the books I read back in 2010. That year I only managed to tackle 59 books. In 2011, it was 95, and last year I read a mere 76. Let’s see how 2013 develops.

I Should Know Better, But Here Ya Go — My Favorite Novels

I imagine that most readers have a running list of their favorite novels bouncing around inside their heads. The criteria for determining one’s list is altogether esoteric and impossibly personal in every way. Beyond the technical precision of the writing itself, each work that makes the individual’s cut lands there for a myriad of reasons — mostly due to some inexplicable emotional resonance, with outside factors of almost equal import to the actual stories themselves.

Well, for what it’s worth, these are my thirteen favorite novels. Each hit me like thunder when I first read them and they still manage to stir something inside me like a distant echo from the past whenever I revisit them (and believe me, I do). I’d recommend each and every one, fully expecting that some of them you might not care for in the slightest. That’s why this is my list and not your yours.

A Marvel Unexpected

On Sunday morning I was (and still am) fighting a nasty little virus. I rose early, feeling quite under the weather, and sat at the kitchen table nursing a cold Pepsi and lazily poring over the paper when I noticed something in the classifieds: an estate sale, south of Marion, with books… lots of books, in fact. My wallet was thin and my spirit week, but I mustered up some strength and marshaled the troops for the nearly half hour drive.

When we first pulled into the driveway and walked into the sparse garage my hopes were far from high. Yes, there were several stacks of books along the back wall, but they were used and abused titles for the most part — some King, Koontz, Crichton, Cussler, and even some Forgotten Realms paperbacks. Nothing to get too excited about.

The owner of the house, a little old lady — 89 years young — came out and invited me inside to see the rest of her wares. Within was a veritable library. Shelves were in every room and overflowing, covering every conceivable subject, but mostly religion, history, and the occult.

I could have spent hours in there, and spent hundreds. At a dollar apiece it was like stumbling onto an untapped vein of pure gold without a pick to chip at it. I did snatch up a couple of items — a Michael Moorcock hardcover and an odd, oversized book titled Encyclopedia of White Magic, unique in that its accompanying photos did not regale you with visions of robed wizards and arcane sigils, but instead pictures of trees and brooks and snow covered fields.

But the most interesting find was a 1989 first edition printing of Witches & Warlocks Tales of Black Magic, Old & New Selected by Marvin Kaye. The cover art alone had me digging a George Washington out of my billfold, but the table of contents turned out to be filled with some of the greatest authors one could assemble between the pages of a single book.

Isaac Singer, H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, W.B. Yeats, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Robert Bloch, Oscar Wilde, Isaac Asimov, Algernon Blackwood, Edward Hoch, H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Fritz Lieber, to name but a few… but the real treat was finding Manly Wade Wellman’s Ever the Faith Endures listed.

One of my favorite short stories, this is Wellman at his best and I’ve hoped to reread this tale for more than a few years. To stumble upon it as I did, in this sweet little old ladies’ house, was a tad short of miraculous. I’ll regret for quite some time that I didn’t have the funds to buy the lion’s share of her collection, but cradling this copy of Witches & Warlocks will sooth that pain as the winter months loom and long nights in front of the fireplace call out.

All Hallow’s Read

Neil Gaiman was on a plane, his mind surely chewing over some deliciously dark and clever story idea, when a stray thought took root.  “You know, there aren’t enough traditions that involve giving books.” And from this simple kernel has sprung All Hallow’s Read (#AllHallowsRead on twitter). So here’s his line of thinking:  “I propose that, on Hallowe’en or during the week of Hallowe’en, we give each other scary books. Give children scary books they’ll like and can handle. Give adults scary books they’ll enjoy.” Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? How could I not take part in something like this? It shall henceforth become a new tradition, one as necessary as carving pumpkins or digging up graves out at the old Hog’s Back boneyard.

So here’s how we’re going to do it here on The Occult Detective. You’re going to respond to this post and tell me what your favorite part of Hallowe’en is. Maybe it’s the candy, or the costumes, or the horror movies, or, maybe — just maybe — it’s because you know that the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. Regardless, all you have to do is email your response to allhallowsread@occultdetective.com and you are entered to win a free book from yours truly.

What am I giving away? How about Fresh Blood, that gnarly little anthology from Burning Effigy Press featuring my story “Mourn Not the Sleepless Children”? Hell, I’ll even sign it for you. And to make the deal even sweeter, I’ll inscribe a bit of flash fiction inside and drop an arcane sigil on the page while sitting in a candlelit room inside one of the most haunted locations in all of Indiana. Who knows, maybe I’ll be sending you something more than just a free book?

I will select a winner at one minute before the stroke of midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.

2010 Reading List

With a new year dawning I thought it would be a fun experiment to keep track of what I read throughout the year by maintaining a running list of books, magazines, and comics that I torment my tired old eyes with. I’ve always believed that you can tell a lot about a person by examining the works they choose to pass their time with. This will be your chance to take an intimate look into where I lose myself…

I will rank each book I read on a five point scale, each point marked by a bat symbol.

Don’t waste your time.

Didn’t work for me.

An entertaining read.

A kick ass book, well-crafted and firing on all cylinders.

A perfectly sublime experience…
a near magical excursion into literary excellence.

We shall begin with a book I decided to revisit last night, the 30th of December. It is my favorite novel and I have submerged myself into its magical prose nine times since first discovering it while in college in 1990. I can’t think of a better way to start the new year…
