☠ Perceval Landon's Classic Tale of Mounting Ghostly Terror - Paavo's Creeps

"Of course I am much better now, but it is a kindness of you to let me sleep in your cabin".
On his 'way out to the East' on the steamer Osiris, the narrator of Perceval Landon's story is approached by a solitary fellow passenger, Colvin, who nervously asks his permission to share his cabin on the voyage.  It is an unusual request, and when asked for an explanation, Colvin describes a harrowing night he has recently spent at the house of the title.

'Thurnley Abbey' is a traditional ghost story framed in something quite different (more of this later).  And as a traditional ghost story it works well enough.  Colvin has been invited by friends to the house of the title, an ivy-clad, part medieval, part Jacobean house full of tapestries, shadows and wood panelling, ostensibly to share in a weekend's entertaining.  But it soon becomes clear that his friends have ulterior motives for inviting him.  They are evasive, distracted.  And there are rumours, of course, that the house is haunted.  Just by what nobody seems to know, but a ghostly nun is mentioned.

☵ Book Covers Were Better In The Seventies - Paavo's Pix

Conan of Cimmeria', published by Sphere.  Something about the cover caught my attention from the start - the titles, in their bold, uncluttered light blue modern font; the dramatic artwork; the black background to the titles which gave the cover a unique look.  I felt as though I was buying something quite different. Later, I discovered the whole Sphere Conan series at a WH Smiths in Romford.  They covered an entire display case - all with the same format, only with different coloured titles for each book. And that wonderful artwork as well - as though Landseer had been let loose in the Dark Ages.  I eventually discovered that the cover art was by Frank Frazetta, widely acknowledged as one of the great fantasy artists.  I soon bought 'The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta' and dreamed of lost Sphere 'Conan' books and the title colours that would go with each picture.
In the mid-seventies, I bought my very first Conan paperback, '

In short, not only did the series look unique.  It also set my imagination working.  The same is true of the Michael Moorcock books published by Mayflower, also in the seventies.  They all had a clean, white modern font that set them apart on the bookshelves, and a cover design that was a mixture of psychedelia and Tibetan religious art.  'The King of the Swords' is still my favourite.  There was a look to the covers that made you want to collect them all.

The same could be said of sci-fi artist Chris Foss's iconic designs for Isaac Asimov's books, almost photographic in their realism, blazingly colourful, but again with a title font that was clear and recognizably Asimov.

ℚ Pirate Princess [1] - Catherine Banks

Today we have the pleasure of meeting up with author to talk about Pirate Princess (, Catherine Banks, 441 pages).

"Pirate Princess is a wonderful, engaging, coming of age tale of Tilia, born both royalty to the pirates and royalty to a land kingdom. Catherine does a wonderful job of weaving action, strategy, romance and adventure into a story that captures the imagination and keeps the reader engaged and guessing until the very end. Krisha Scannapieco" - KS Book Editing

A very warm welcome to Jolyse Barnett, thank you for joining us today.

☠ A Classic English Ghost Story by W.W. Jacobs - Paavo's Creeps

'I've seen it...O Lord, I'll never play the fool again, never!'

One of the best classic ghost stories may not even have a ghost at all.  'Jerry Bundler' [published 1901 in the collection Light Freights] by W.W. Jacobs, who also wrote the more famous 'The Monkey's Paw', has all the ingredients of a good traditional chiller - it takes place over Christmas, in an old coaching inn, and begins with that ghost story staple: a group of friends telling eachother scary stories by the fireside.

'Jerry Bundler' takes place in the fictional market town of Torchester, in the various rooms of the Boar's Head Inn.  It is a story that is built on rising tension, and this tension builds almost innocuously from the start.  In a true horror cliche, one of the stories proves 'so enthralling' that the waiter, 'whose presence had been forgotten, [creates] a very disagreeable sensation by suddenly starting up from a dark corner and gliding silently from the room'.

Of course, it turns out that there is a ghost associated with the inn.  This one's name is Jerry Bundler, a one-time highwayman and pickpocket, who was pursued to the same inn and found by his pursuers in one of the bedrooms 'dangling from the top of the bed by his own handkerchief'.  His ghost has since haunted the Boars Head; one old gentleman relates the experience of his father when he stayed there, and the ghost 'lowered itself on top of his bed and tried to strangle him'.
