About Me

I have been interested in the strange and unusual all of my life ,in 1965 I co-founded a magazine called "Gothique" devoted to Hammer films and earlier, supernatural fiction and later the uncoming dark music later termed Goth! I also at this time ran a mail order book-business called "The Vault of Horror" importing the unavailable paperback copies of horror and fantasy fiction then only available from America. Soon when I was making more than in my day job so opened up a bookstore called "Dark They Were and Golden-Eyed" whitch gave me imense pleasure for thirteen wonderful years where I got to meet many of my favorite authors and artists until The Evil Queen Margrat put me out of business. I came to Lancaster with a huge library that has got even larger, I'm a sell-confested bookaholic, even now I still work in an Oxfam bookshop two days a week. a href="http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/dtwage/witchy%20 pics/?action=view&current=INVOKATION.jpg" target="_blank"
