CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY READING IN '23 - A RETURN TO THE UNCANNY

Roll on to December/January and no matter what I read through the other seasons, I tend to reserve Christmas for the uncanny.

I've enjoyed the Baranger/Lovecraft series at Christmas for a few years now and it's the right time to read them; for me, there are echoes of reading big illustrated books as a kid. This copy of The Dunwich Horror took some procurement. But well worth the effort. Like the other three volumes, it is excellent.

This might be my favourite Ramsey Campbell novel since Born to the Dark too, and Reggie Oliver always transports me with that combination of the macabre, sublime characterisation and a touch of whimsy.

Currently enmeshed in Our Share of Night and always eager to get back to it.
