Stagecoach & Psychopath. This palatial movie theater was a couple of miles from the neighborhood where I grew up. Psychopath was actually The Psychopath, a 1966 Amicus film written by Robert Bloch. I was too young to see it, but this sort of bleak landscape became a blank canvas for my imagination, helped push me into the worlds of fantasy and horror.

First book I ever purchased. So many big names that Robert E. Howard, William Hope Hodgson and Algernon Blackwood didn't make it onto the cover. Contains the great Carnacki tale, "The Gateway of the Monster."

My first encounter with club tales was in the second issue of Fantasy
& Science Fiction I had ever read. December 1976, Sterling Lanier’s fine
Brigadier Ffellowes story, “Ghost of a Crown,” featured on the cover. The neighborhood I grew up in was a model
of banality, so the notion that if I rode my bike far enough I would come upon
a club devoted to imagination and adventure was enthralling.
