Been digging the horror books lately. One I picked up recently. Decided my white whale is going to be a Suspense 3.

Great pickup! You really can't go wrong with Eerie; decent artwork and generally good stories.

 

Master of the Dead is good, but Snake Eyes of Doom is just a killer story!

Chris C. with Bedrock City "warned" me that many collectors eventually end up in the Golden Age. Well, here's my first PCH purchase, and certainly not my last. I feel lucky to have snagged my absolute favorite PCH cover (of those I've seen, anyway) right off the bat, because my budget drives me toward "beat but complete" copies. This one was the right mixture of price and condition/eye appeal, and I couldn't be happier! :cloud9:

+1 with such a classic as the foundation of your collection, please let us know what else you buy. It's always interesting to see what a newcomer likes :)

Thought I'd post #13, after seeing 14 and 15 posted.

Love the Eerie's.

 

 

 

Such a great run of books. And one I can contribute to:

And what a great contribution! All time classic granddaddy of them all, congrats on a sweet copy!

As others have said, great book. That cover has a lot going for it; lady in red, skulls, drowning and rotting corpse! Welcome to the madness! :headbang:

Cool shrunken head cover, oceanavekid! And I love the slime cover of that Vault of Horror, atomic1950's. I hadn't seen that one before.

Wow, you're right! I hadn't realized how many of the horror cover tropes this one hit. I just knew I loved it!

Thanks! Feeling very welcome here. I'll absolutely be posting my PCH acquisitions for everyone's enjoyment :) I've got one more on the way...
