Beware The Tentacles Of October!

Are you scared of tentacles?

Whether they’re reaching down from the sky or coming out of the water, the idea of being grabbed and, even worse, squeezed by several slimy tentacles is a scary one!  Perhaps that’s why it was such a popular image during the pulp age.  Below is just a sampling of some of the era’s tentacle horror, courtesy of some of the best artists to work in the pulps!

Artwork of the Day: A Morning In October

I took this picture a few years ago, on a foggy October morning.  Usually, this is a normal-looking neighborhood but, on that morning, it looked creepy so I had to get out there with my camera and get some pictures of it all.  We had many mornings like this that October.  We’ll probably have even more this October.

Artwork of the Day: New Man In The House (artist unknown)

Artist Unknown

This is from 1963.  There’s a new man in the house and he’s serving drinks.  It’s good to stay useful.  The artist is unknown.  I know it looks like there might be signature on the cover but I think that’s actually something that a previous owner wrote on it.  Why anyone would ruin a cover by doing that, I don’t know.  It actually makes me a little mad.
