Frank Baker, author of "The Call of Cornwall", "Stories of the Strange and Sinister", "Talk of the Devil", and much more, died this day 1983. A recent discovery for me, despite his Cornish connexions. #OTD #OnThisDay

Watching Count Dracula with #TheFilmCrowd tonight has decided me, my next occult/horror/weird read will be Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Finished "Spores of Doom" by Aaron Worth just before it started, so will get stuck right in.

#TheFilmCrowd folks; I've made a change to the FilmCrowders List to make it easier and much faster for us to manage it, but it does mean people will need to unpin the old list from their home pages, then click on the new list below in the replies, and pin it again.

"An Experiment in Darkness" would be a good title for a horror short story or a film. #TheFilmCrowd

A stuffed crocodile was a traditional symbol of alchemists and magicians. There's also one in the cathedral of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, where Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book was found. #TheFilmCrowd
