Dan | 1575 comments January's group read is technically classic Weird since we define anything written before 1990 as Old School. However, 1977 is in my living memory. I mean, it's the year Star Wars first came to the theater. How classic can it be then?

Therefore, I want to keep nominations open again this month. Let's nominate a good Weird Fiction work we will all enjoy. The only restriction I'd like to place on this month's nomination is that because we are selecting a European writer for January's read, let's make February's be by a North American (U.S. or Canada) writer.

Nominations are open the entire first half of this month.

Ronald (rpdwyer) | 89 comments I nominate At Fear's Altar by Richard Gavin.

I highly enjoyed this short story collection. Some of the stories are Lovecraftian, others occultic. I refrained from nominating this book because it was not available as an ebook. But it is available for the Kindle now.

Richard Gavin is a Canadian, so he fulfills the North American requirement.

Dan | 1575 comments I nominate Witch House by Evangeline Walton (1945), the first novel published by weird fiction publisher Arkham House.
