@shiva Indeedy! Miskatonic Books tell me that if they get the Bavent they will supply a copy but they have no idea when that may be.
@christibrany Much thanks.
D'oh! Thanks for explaining to this senile old hack.🤦♂️
@shiva And? Don't understand why you're telling me that.
If anyone knows a third party seller who has their edition of Confessions of Madeleine Bavent I was after I'd be very grateful to hear of it. I litera...
Nothing has changed. I wanted their very nice looking edition of Montague Summers translation of Confessions of Madeleine Bavent and when I ordered I ...
@dom I can see lots of faults with it over 30 years on, but people still tell me how it turned them on to AC which is nice to hear.
@dom Yes, there was a photo of him. There's a section with pics of GD members and alleged members, and they are discussed.
@dom My Crowley Scrapbook does NOT say Stoker was a GD member, so it's your memory that's dodgy, not the source. I said "no real evidence exists" ...
@shiva Weiser announced that they've been sending amounts every quarter and that they'd assumed it was just going into a general fund, and when Addenb...
@dom I asked elsewhere and again off topic if everyone here was aware of the $100,000 raised by the sale via Weiser of the late Nick Culpeper's Crowle...
@michael-staley 👌
@michael-staley It's not me that is trying to continue it, Michael. But in any case, I agree.
@dom Do you really want to get into this on here?
This is off-topic but I'm useless at navigating site. I just wanted to ask if Lashtal is aware that Weiser selling the late Nick Culpeper's Crowley co...
@the_real_simon_iff That's one of the best posts in this thread. Really!
@the-hga-of-a-duck Not to a 50s/60s kid like me.
@the_real_simon_iff You seem to be as pedantic as I am!
@the_real_simon_iff Okay scratch "permissible" and replace with acceptable/advisable? Btw am not sure what conspiracy you mean? Check out Rebel News s...
@ignant666 Heh heh. You can tell from my profound analysis I was a music critic!
@the-hga-of-a-duck Wtf? It appears just to be a logo with shit music.
@shiva Sorry for also indulging in this - I just wanted to initially respond to being gently chastised for not worshipping Thunberg by coming clean ab...
@ignant666 I've had SO many arguments about this and so many people agreeing with me that you'll hopefully forgive me if I don't want to engage in a p...
@dom I thought TR was probably a bad guy but watched his Oxford Uni speech and read his autobiography, read lots of the opposite view and decided the ...
@dom Will I be dubbed a racist Nazi or will I find like minded people? I grew up in an old Labour Clydeside home but my views have changed a lot over ...
@the_real_simon_iff Oh dear. You won't like this but I may as well tell you I voted for Brexit, I love Tommy Robinson and Douglas Murray and I think T...
@christibrany Ah, understood. It was in Weird Fiction Review #9. I wrote the piece years ago for a fanzine that stopped publishing. Then Diabolique ac...
@christibrany I met Jerad of Centipede a few years ago in the UK. He published an article of mine on the UK censor and Roger Corman's Masque of the Re...
@jamiejbarter Hi Jamie! The reason I stumbled on this thread again was because I've just done an Afterword for Centipede Press's reissue of James Blis...
@shiva I prefer lower things myself. The lower the better.
Okay - I couldn't resist looking up the Kipling thing. All I questioned was the story in Master of Villainy that Rohmer was in "a Rosicrucian Society ...
Only just saw this a decade on, but nevertheless... I see a claim about Sax Rohmer, an author I love btw, with zero evidence. I say it seems shaky. Y...
@michael staley Thank you for all that discussion with ignant666. I never knew copyright law was so complex and had undergone so many revisions. Very...
@wellreadbread I understand the moderator has stated this mountain-related material is not relevant to this thread and is verboten. Perhaps a separat...
@the real simon iff I understand that this is not relevant to the thread. Thank you Simon.

@the real simon iff Interesting about the conflicting accounts of the climbs. I thought members of his climbs had criticised his behaviour. If not, d...

@hormakhet He was certainly an innovative climber. There's a book called The First Tigers by Alan Hankinson which gives him his due.
@lashtal I never said it was akin to a goal, just that the analogy of where something occurs (at the beginning or end) doesn't invalidate it holds. I...
@frater anubis Tosh. Very few writers make a living out of books, let alone books on AC. As I said before, my Scrapbook has been in print here and US...
@lashtal I really don't see anything wrong with RTC's football analogy. The point he's making is that something stated on page 252 of a book is just ...
@horemakhet If you read the Confessions account of how AC behaved on climbs you find much narcissism and scant empathy. I have to say that when putti...
@RTC I guess the unfulfilled promise you refer to is the continuing non-publication of official OTO editions of the complete Confessions, et al? Mr B...
@obscuruspaintus Of course "the past cannot be changed" - but our understanding of what happened can. Nobody is attempting to "pull down" AC - others...
@michael staley Eerie synchronicity - I was sure you'd say something along the lines of oh I knew you wouldn't understand it, and also wondered if yo...
@ignant666 If Cole's big reveal turns out "fishy", fair enough. I guess we'll have to wait and see as children do. As regards the quibbling about the...
