For those not familiar with it, Garth Mereghi is a fictional hack horror writer that originated from a spoof TV show called Garth Mereghi's Dark Place. It was hilarious and if you enjoy shows such as The Mighty Boosh and the IT Crowd, chances are that you'll enjoy this.
He has a new one coming out and I think I read somewhere he's doing a tour to promote it. Might be fun !I ordered a signed copy of Garth Merenghi's Terror Tome.

The first four copies of BD monthly, Pavillion Rouge from 2001 bound into one hefty volume. Pavillion Rouge only lasted 26 issues so I already have a sizeable chunk of the run.

$35 new when it came out. Looks unread but I think it was. Stories are lightly checked off in the TOC using the ABC grading system including pluses and minuses.Holy cow, that's a terrific find for free! That's an excellent collection. There's a second volume of later works as well.
