We’re celebrating #RogerCorman at our house, and, wow, #TheIntruder from 1962 (also released as #Shame in the U.S., which is the title under which it’s streaming) holds up very well. I wish it weren’t so timely. It’s a powerful film. (#ValancourtBooks has reissued the novel on which it’s based.) #Film #Racism #CivilRights #Books

#Bookmail from the lovely people at Valancourt who truly do the world a service by reprinting some fabulous & sometimes long OOP books.
These are the two newest #PaperbacksFromHell from Thomas Tessier, FINISHING TOUCHES & RAPTURE and they look fantastic. Should be able to get to them in November (hopefully, haaaa) but for now they look right at home amongst my other #vintage #paperbacks and PFH.
