Over mijn bibliotheek
I've often been asked if I own any books that I would never consider selling. Here they are. Sometimes I have loaned these out to discriminating readers. Email me and try your luck.
Over mij
I am the owner of Pretty Sinister Books, an old-fashioned mail order & internet bookselling machine, operated from my home in Chicago, IL. I've written critical essays and reviews on crime and supernatural fiction for e-zines, websites and small presses. I was the culprit responsible for the reissue by Ramble House of the ultra-rare, long out-of-print detective fiction short story collection THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF ROWLAND HERN by Nicholas Olde for which I also wrote the introduction. I spend way too much time researching long forgotten writers of detective and crime fiction. I should get out more. My mountain bike sings plaintive laments after midnight and is beginning to rust from neglect.
