A thought on "The Silver Key" by H.P. Lovecraft

Some thoughts on "The Silver Key" by H.P. Lovecraft #hplovecraft #hpl #lovecraft

    I have been doing a Lovecraft re-read the past few months. I have not been blogging in a while (New job, New life goals, Maybe I will share later) but I am always reading or listening to a audio book.

BOOK HAUL/SPOTLIGHT – Mayhem on Bear Creek by Robert. E. Howard

BOOK HAUL/SPOTLIGHT – Mayhem on Bear Creek by Robert. E. Howard #robertehoward #reh

      I have been adding many new books to my collection recently. My interest in reading has shifted to older books and authors. So I thought instead of just a simple book haul post I would do more of a spotlight/introduction post as well. So in the post below you will not only find the usual book haul photo’s, but book and author info as well. I hope you will take the time to look it over and…

mightythorjrs.com - MY TOP POST OF 2018! It was a Robert E. Howard year. #robertehoward #reh
