"He was nailed to a cross like long ago. Fire burned him but lust was stronger. A thunderous whirlpool caught him."
This title was inspired from the grind house classic Gone with the Pope and obviously Pulp Fiction. Casted 'the man' Nic Cage as the Pope since everything he does is entertaining. Accompanying the main cast is Ashley Laurence from Hellraiser fame and Sherilyn Fenn from Twin Peaks.
Another shot taken in my favorite forrest. I felt that I had to make some use of the fog outside that day. That's all there is to say. Have a nice weekend ;)

Tedd Thomey - Jet Pilot
Avon Books 632, 1955
Cover Artist: unknown
"He had two loves: tomorrow's planes – and his wife in name only."
When the former British Railways Class 77 locomotives arrived in the Netherlands in September 1969, the NS electric fleet carried the attractive Berlin Blue livery, which had replaced a mixed application of turquoise, green and red-brown schemes in 1954. This was to change the following year, when the familiar yellow and grey 'house colours' were introduced. The freshly overhauled Class 77s, now NS 1500 Class, were probably amongst the first mainline locomotives to carry the new colours.
This fictional image depicts how they might have looked, in the blue livery and with older headlight arrangement, had they arrived a few years earlier. The source image (which unfortunately is not of the highest quality) is a view of E27000 'Electra' at the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley in 1987 (30-Oct-10).

Long before there was CGI, there was George Pal. Who can forget his dazzling visual effects for War of the Worlds? They were state-of-the-art back in the 50's. Here's a small sample:

Bill Lauren - Gal Bait
Merit Books 530, 1961
Cover Artist: Sloan
"A sex-shark uses the illicit passions of celebrities to satisfy his perverted desires and his insatiable brunette mistress."
I remember a time when books were everywhere. Specifically, I remember going into drugs stores and super markets and card shops and always being able to find one of those rotating wire racks of paperbacks. Usually the selection was just recent best sellers and summer reading - the best thing a kid like me would usually find was a Stephen King novel. But every once in a while, I would find a rack filled with genre fiction, anthologies or even (honestly, for back then, the best stroke of luck) choose your own adventures, their pulpy pages brand new but already yellowed and musty. I miss that.
In this pile (you'll have to just trust me on this) are The Hand of Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer, The Spawn of Cthulhu anthology edited by Lin Carter (quite the rare for the days before Alibris), Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith, Night Fear by Frank Belknap Long, The Night Land (Vol. 1) by William Hope Hodgson, The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers and Wolfshead by Robert E. Howard.
If nothing on that list or about this photo got you excited to take a trip down to your local second hand book shop, I don't think we can be friends.
