I Didn’t Forget Bloch’s Birthday…

…not exactly. I’ve been swamped with other things.

Robert Bloch, one of the best short fiction writers of the weird and fantastic was born today, April 5, 1917. Hey, it’s still the 5th where and when I’m writing this.

I’ve not read any of his work in observance of his birthday yet, but I’ll try to fit something in over the next few days. Sadly, much of his work is currently out of print. There are a few things  up on Amazon, but they look sketchy.

What short story of Bloch’s would  you suggest I read (or reread)?

    My favourites are The Devil’s Ticket and The Hungry House, two exceptional stories that, in my opinion, far exceed the more lauded stories in his canon.

      I’ll add them to the list. I’ll try to get a post up once final exams are over.
