Love this line in ASpyAlone by #CharlesBeaumont 😂

“There is a #Travelodge glowing perfunctorily in the night sky, a gleaming beacon of inhospitality.”

Half way through this one and thoroughly enjoying it - absolutely well recommended #Spy #Novel

I got a signed copy of #ASpyAlone by #CharlesBeaumont - looking forward to reading this in 2024…

#RobertRyan’s filmography shows no #TwilightZone episodes, and that surprises me. He seems like the perfect #RodSerling or #CharlesBeaumont protagonist. #BewareMyLovely #NoirAlley

48/2022 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall not a bad collection of short stories, and I can see why the book got the high-profile list of authors to do introductions and provide their memories of Beaumont. However, many of the stories haven’t aged well; they may have been “dated but still worthwhile” when the collection was published in the late ’80s, but forty years further on, they’re just “dated and cringeworthy”. Don’t regret reading it, but definitely won’t be keeping it in my collection, either.
