LINKS.

VALANCOURT BOOKS

 

A newer publisher, that specializes in affordable reprints of 18th and early 19th century gothic novels and also supernatural fiction and thrillers of the 1890's. They've a very fine set of paperback reprints of extremely rare Richard Marsh novels and short story collections that are real bargains.

 

GASLIGHT

A good introduction to the British author and academic who may be the greatest ghost story writer of all time.

THE GRAND GUIGNOL

The most comprehensive internet source for the French "theatre of terror," in business in the seedy Parisian Pigalle district from 1897-1962. The site contains bibliography, rare photos, and historical matter about the theatre and its most prominent authors.

RADIO DISMUKE

Streaming "internet radio" station that features music of the 1925-1935 era, "from frantic Charlestons danced to by a generation of flappers to sentimental ballads performed by the early crooners...from the hot jazz bands of the top Harlem nightclubs to the popular dance bands of the formative years of the swing and big band eras."

 

THE RED HOT JAZZ ARCHIVE

CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF SOUTHERN CULTURE

"The South's gonna rise again!"

(Well, not really, but I find this to be the best, most intelligent set of pages dealing with the culture of my part of the United States.  There's also a fair amount of e-text Southern literature right about here.)
