Original 1966 paperback first publishing of the 7th Pan Book of Horror Stories, the legendary series selected by Herbert Van Thal. I like the pulp horror lettering and the somewhat bizarre bat/monster thing on the cover! A 99p charity shop purchase. Bargain!!
A lovely piece for the nightstand. Lyric from "Like a friend" by Pulp.
That bead work was amazing easy, only took like four hours. /bragging

" Ezechiele 25:17. 'Il cammino dell'uomo timorato è minacciato da ogni parte dalle iniquità degli esseri egoisti e dalla tirannia degli uomini malvagi. Benedetto sia colui che nel nome della carità e della buona volontà conduce i deboli attraverso la valle delle tenebre; perché egli è in verità il pastore di suo fratello e il ricercatore dei figli smarriti. E la mia giustizia calerà sopra di loro con grandissima vendetta e furiosissimo sdegno su coloro che si proveranno ad ammorbare ed infine a distruggere i miei fratelli. E tu saprai che il mio nome è quello del Signore quando farò calare la mia vendetta sopra di te.'
Ora, sono anni che dico questa cazzata, e se la sentivi significava che eri fatto. Non mi sono mai chiesto cosa volesse dire, pensavo che fosse una stronzata da dire a sangue freddo a un figlio di puttana prima di sparargli. Ma stamattina ho visto una cosa che mi ha fatto riflettere. Vedi, adesso penso, magari vuol dire che tu sei l'uomo malvagio e io sono l'uomo timorato, e il signor 9mm, qui, lui è il pastore che protegge il mio timorato sedere nella valle delle tenebre. O può voler dire che tu sei l'uomo timorato, e io sono il pastore, ed è il mondo ad essere malvagio ed egoista, forse. Questo mi piacerebbe. Ma questa cosa non è la verità. La verità è che TU sei il debole, e io sono la tirannia degli uomini malvagi. Ma ci sto provando, Ringo, ci sto provando, con grande fatica, a diventare il pastore. "

CSX's new symbol shakeup made the Chillicothe switcher U222.
Because the CSX has stitched together 3 railroads C&O, B&O and the TH&D) in the city, the tracks are rather inefficient. Here, the local has come off the C&O mainline, where it exchanged cars at a siding called Vauces, and is now backing down the B&O. The track at right switchbacks over to the TH&D, where there is a pulp mill that does significant business with CSX.
The caboose is necessary because the train has to make so many reverse moves over road crossings and the NS mainline .

Long train of thoughts to get to my photo today. It all began doing something amazing: giving blood (it's not me saying it, it's the NHS :))
And since I first saw Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp fiction' when I was a teenager, when I think of blood I think of the master piece. I read somewhere that all the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set at 4:20, but apparently it's just a myth.

Vintage postcard by Clasicos Cinema, no. 183. Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994). Caption: 'From the creator of Reservoir Dogs. The Preacher: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides.'
Many people know American film actor and producer Samuel L. Jackson (1948) for his role as Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino's classic Pulp Fiction (1994). One of the late bloomers of Hollywood, he was already 46 years old at the time, but has acted in an average of three to four films a year since. He also appeared in Tarantino's Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (2003-2004), Django Unchained (2012), and The Hateful Eight (2015). Others know him as Jedi Master Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequel trilogy (1999-2005). The prolific Jackson starred in over 100 films, including Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), Unbreakable (2000), Shaft (2000), The 51st State (2001), the cult classic Snakes on a Plane (2006) as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Samuel Leroy Jackson was born in 1948 in Washington, D.C., to Elizabeth (Montgomery) and Roy Henry Jackson. He was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under his grandmother's strict guidance. His mother, Elizabeth, joined them when he was 10. At the historically Black Morehouse College in Atlanta, Jackson was active in the black student movement. In 1969, during his junior year, he protested the absence of Black people on the board of trustees by locking several board members in a building for two days and was promptly expelled from the college. After working as a social worker for two years in Los Angeles, Jackson returned to Morehouse to pursue the study of acting and received his degree in 1972. He suffered from a stutter while growing up. A speech therapist suggested he audition for a play, and it might help his speech. It did, and he changed his major. After college, Jackson joined the Black Image Theatre Company with his future wife, LaTanya Richardson, whom he met at Morehouse's sister school, Spelman College. They toured the country and performed skits characterised by a fiery combination of rage and humour to primarily white audiences. In 1976, having exhausted their enthusiasm for politically charged theatre, Jackson moved with Richardson to Harlem, New York City, to pursue an acting career outside such strictly defined perimeters of race. He began to act in Off-Broadway productions, including Richard Wesley's The Mighty Gents, an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Samm-Art Williams's Home. He also got a job substituting for Bill Cosby during The Cosby Show rehearsals.
In 1981, Samuel L. Jackson had two life-changing encounters while working on Charles Fuller's 'A Soldier's Play'. He met fellow actor Morgan Freeman, who became a great friend and convinced Jackson that he could be a successful actor. He also met a New York University film student named Spike Lee, who expressed his enthusiasm for Jackson's performances and urged him to appear in the films he planned to make. Jackson consented and kept his word. He played his first major film role in Lee's Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989). Jackson became well-known after the three films he made with Spike Lee: also Mo' Better Blues (1990) and Jungle Fever (1991). Two weeks before playing Gator, a drug addict, in Jungle Fever, he had been an admitted drug user himself until he completed drug rehab. The Jury of the Cannes Film Festival was so impressed with his performance as Gator that they decided to recreate the rare Best Supporting Actor category in that year, honouring him with the award. He also received a New York Film Critics award. Jackson followed this triumph with roles in Patriot Games (Phillip Noyce, 1992), the flop Amos & Andrew (E. Max Frye, 1993), True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993), and a prominent supporting part in the blockbuster Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1993). He had his definitive breakthrough as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994), which became an instant cult classic. Biography.com: "Working from any actor's dream script, Jackson played Jules Winnfield, a sermon-spewing killer with eruptive speeches up to five pages long. He moved and terrified audiences with his impassioned performance, becoming the elusive moral center of the psychologically twisted film. He received an Academy Award nomination for the role." Going from supporting player to leading man, his performance in Pulp Fiction gave him an Oscar nomination. Jackson usually played bad guys and drug addicts before becoming an action hero, co-starring with Bruce Willis in Die Hard: With a Vengeance (John McTiernan, 1995) and Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight (Renny Harlin, 1996). In 1997, he received a Silver Berlin Bear for his part as ultimate bad guy Ordell Robbi in Jackie Brown (Quentin Tarantino, 1997).
Samuel L. Jackson was the star of such big Hollywood productions as the supernatural thriller Unbreakable (M. Night Shyamalan, 2000) with Bruce Willis, Shaft (John Singleton, 2000) - the remake of the classic 1970s blaxploitation hit, and Changing Lanes (Roger Michell, 2002) with Ben Affleck. In Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (George Lucas, 1999), Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (George Lucas, 2002), and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (George Lucas, 2005), he played the character Mace Windu, a shaved Jedi Master with a purple lightsaber which he got in Part II) He also provided the voice for this character in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) which takes place between Episode II and III. He reunited with Quentin Tarantino for Kill Bill (2003-2004), Django Unchained (2012), and The Hateful Eight (2015), and was a narrator in Inglourious Basterds (2009). With Samuel L. Jackson's permission, his likeness was used for the Ultimate version of the Marvel Comics character, Nick Fury. He later did a cameo as the character in a post-credits scene from Iron Man (2008), and went on to sign a nine-film commitment to reprise this role in future films, including major roles in Iron Man 2 (Jon Favreau, 2010), The Avengers (Joss Whedon, 2012), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, 2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (Joss Whedon, 2015), Spider-Man: Far from Home (Jon Watts, 2019), and Captain Marvel (Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck, 2019), and minor roles in Thor (Kenneth Branagh, 2011), Captain America: The First Avenger (Joe Johnston, 2011), and Avengers: Endgame (Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, 2019). He has also portrayed the character in the second and final episodes of the first season of the TV show, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013). Jackson also took on a different role in 2019 by serving as the first celebrity voice of Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa, with consumers having the option of receiving "explicit or non-explicit" answers to their questions. He has provided his voice to several animated films, television series, and video games, including the roles of Lucius Best / Frozone in Pixar's film The Incredibles (2004), Mace Windu in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), Afro Samurai in the anime television series Afro Samurai (2007), and Frank Tenpenny in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004). At the world premiere of The Avengers, he was asked what qualities a hero should have. To this Jackson replied, "I guess some people might say: strong, good looking and indestructible. I would say earnest, kind and ... indestructible." Jackson has been married to actress and film director LaTanya Richardson since 1980. When a reporter asked why his wife stayed with him during his wilder years, he replied, "She always says to me that I have now grown into the man that she always knew I could be." They have a daughter together, Zoë Jackson (1982). In 2011, the Guinness World Records named Samuel L. Jackson as the highest-grossing film actor of all time, taking in more than $7.4 billion at the box office.

I've edited this version in Lightroom in order to bring the colors out, fix the lens, and slightly sharpen. I also took down the yellows in the sky, as they were the only part of the color-enhanced version that looked out of place.
Take a look at the map location of this photo to see where it was shot. I was just before the pier at the foot of 14th St. looking north-north west. It's right by where the old Flea Market by the bay used to be. I miss our dirt mall!

"The Earth of Nenkunal" has garnered attention for a controversial scene involving a rape. Reviewers have expressed strong negative reactions to this aspect of the story, finding it deeply disturbing and misogynistic. One reviewer on Goodreads explicitly advises readers to skip this section. Despite the controversy, some describe Myers’ work as “all marvelous,” with comparisons made to well-regarded sci-fi authors like A.E. van Vogt, Robert Sheckley and Charles L. Harness. "The Creatures of Man," a collection including "The Earth of Nenkunal" and other stories, was published by Baen Books in 2003.
