Bright spot of the week: I finally own a copy of the finest horror novel I have ever read: BANE, by Joe Donnelly. You have no idea how happy I am to have finally acquired a copy – I’ve been looking for one for half a decade, ever since I first read a friend’s in 1996, by which time, it was already out of print.

BANE is one of only two books to disturb me sufficiently that I had to put it down and find some human company for a while, just because I was so unsettled. You can probably find a copy for yourself through the same place I did.
