Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > The Gibbering Night > Status Update

It’s so strange to have this book - never thought I would ever hold something like this in my hands. Anyway, enough of the dreamy stupor of bliss…I’ve read the title story, which went on to inspire a novel I love, Night of the Jabberwock, though ‘The Gibbering Night’ is quite different. Also read the essay about how dull Superman is, given his invulnerability. Note: I own #304, of the 425 first editions printed.

So…today, a Crime & Mystery bookstore that will be closing down soon let me go down in the basement and make piles of any books I wanted to buy. They have been in business for over 40 years and they know me very well. Anyway, this was obviously heaven on earth for me - most of the stuff I had to leave for a while so they can price it…but they let me take the Fredric Brown titles ahead of schedule, and I’m thrilled.
