I hope you continue your blog on Home, and can possibly provide a fuller bibliography of his work as other tales if his are brought to light, as well as new or unpublished takes that might emerge in the future. Home's stories are like little gems that turn up now and then! Yes his work is difficult, complex, ambiguous and recondite, but then again some practitioners of the weird tale can be accused of having similar stylistic qualities in their writings, ie Robert Aickman and Thomas Ligotti to name but two. His work also appears in two editions of a small fanzine called From Beyond The Dark Gateway. So far I have not managed to get a hold of them. An essay by Home and a short story by him too appear in two supplements to the Meade and Penny Frierson publication HPL. I have managed to get more of his work over the years, but the small publications his work has appeared in over the years is both hard to obtain and sometimes very expensive too. I tried to track down Hollow Faces Merciless Moons for many years, but it wasn't till the age of the Internet that I managed to snag myself a copy. I have been a huge fan if Home's work since I read A Cobweb of Pulsing Veins in the Karl Edward Wagner edited collection of The Years Best Horror Stories. Hello! Thank you fir creating a blog about the writer William Scott Home.
