The Good, The Bad, And the Just Plain Ugly: Amazon Reviews…

The Colour Out Of Space: TCL#54
It was a scene from a vision of Fuseli, and over all the rest reigned that riot of luminous amorphousness, that alien and undimensioned rainbow of cryptic poison from the well—seething, feeling, lapping, reaching, scintillating, straining, and malignly bubbling in … Continue reading
