Prior to this I'd never hea...Eaton Goldthwaite? Prior to this I'd never heard of him, first time I read the name, I swear! But I'll scribble down a note anyway. <br /><br />Here's the bad news, though, the next book on my list sort of fits in with the books you want to concentrate on – at least, that's what the publishing date and synopsis of the book suggest.<br /><br />So yes, this is getting a bit spooky. Do you think the ghosts of John Dickson Carr and Anthony Boucher are playing with us by whispering subliminal suggestions in our ears while we sleep?<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments, but I'm for to critical of my own work to accept that I'm doing a better job than you.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-89882231486564811392011-03-16T17:08:15.335+01:002011-03-16T17:08:15.335+01:00(SOUND Q: eerie & well known musical theme)

Somehow they both will be selecting the same books, the same authors, and writing about them within days of each other. Pure coincidence? Psychic connection? Or is there some ominous force at work here that only can come from... THE TWILIGHT ZONE."<br /><br />Only last week I started hunting for Cunningham's mysteries after reading (believe it or not) several praiseworthy reviews in -- yes! -- <i>The Anthony Boucher Chronicles.</i> I also started hunting for Eaton Goldthwaite's books. Did you start in on him, too? Probably.<br /><br />Really this is getting to be quite spooky.<br /><br />I'm going to start writing about supernatural books and suspense and crime fiction of the 1950s and 1960s for a while and leave you to the GA detective fiction. You're doing it much better (and faster!) than I. ;^D<br /><br />Nicely done melding in the review above, BTW.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
