Had a doctor’s appointment today. It was…hard. And it was payday.

That meant…BOOKS.

The prize find for today was a graphic work by John Coulthart - H. P. Lovecraft’s The Haunter of the Dark and other Grotesque Visions. It has an introduction by Alan Moore but even cooler, it has a listed soundtrack! As follows…

Coil, How To Destroy Angels
Brian Eno, On Land
Jon Hassell, Aka-Darbari-Java / Magic Realism
Thomas Köner, Teimo
Alan Lamb, Night Passage
Lustmord, Where the Black Stars Hang
Main, Hz
Paul Schütze, New Maps of Hell I & II
Tangerine Dream, Zeit

Other books were:
Angela Carter, The Bloody Chamber (reinterpretations of fairytales)
Tom Stoppard, Arcadia (theatre/play)
Carol Ann Duffy, Rapture (contemporary poetry - started reading it straightaway)

Alas, the bookstore in question apparently misplaced my copy of Tom Stoppard’s Travesties that I’d ordered…

No more book-buying for the rest of the month for me.
