HERE IS THE SPOT WHERE I'LL POST MY PROGRESS ON THE ROLLIN' SHORTIES CHALLENGE. As I said before, I'm cheating and reading "THE HERO WHO RETURNED". Since the first book read was bespoke, I've done spun the wheel and rolled the die for the second story. So here's what my progress will look like; stories have not been read by me until they are marked as read. Ya git me?
- "The Hero Who Returned" by Gerald W. Page from ISAAC ASIMOV'S MAGICAL WORLD OF FANTASY 4: SPELLS / Read
- "The Shifting Growth" by Edgar Jepson & John Gawsworth from THE THIRD PAN BOOK OF HORROR STORIES / READ
- "Grisly Rites of Hitler's Monster Flesh Stripper" by Jim McDonald from WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH edited by Robert Deis & Wyatt Doyle. READ.
- "The Choking Chalice" by Frank Gruber from IT'S RAINING MORE CORPSES IN CHINATOWN. READ
- "Soapsuds" by J.E. Grinstead from WESTERN STORIES SELECTED BY GENE AUTRY. READ.
- "The Naked & the Deadly" by Lawrence Block from THE NAKED AND THE DEADLY by Lawrence Block. READ.
"Hungarian Rhapsody" by Robert Bloch from PLEASANT DREAMS by Robert Bloch. READ.- "Bayamo's Night of Terror" by Don Hogan from CUBA: SUGAR, SEX AND SLAUGHTER READ.
- "Strange Journey" by Robert Leslie Bellem from THE SURGEON OF SOULS by Robert Leslie Bellem READ.
"Crucifixus etiam" by Walter M. Miller Jr. from A CENTURY OF SCIENCE FICTION 1950-1959. READ.
"Coffins Are For Corpses" by Robert Silverberg from MONSTERS AND THINGS by Robert Silverberg. READ.
- "My Sister is a Werewolf" by Jack Prelutsky from BEWARE by R.L. Stine. READ. But now, here's the controversy. This is only a 1 page poem. Who'da thunk R.L. Stine would throw a monkey toe into the whole shebang. Now, do I leave it here and move on to the next story or. . . ONLY read stories so read the next following story in RL Stine's BEWARE??? UPDATE: Well, the consensus (meaning Cheeks) is that if the die roll picked a poem, then a poem it shall be. Moving on.
