The Robert E. Howard House & Museum in Cross Plains, TX is in need of imminent repair work to its foundations, as well as moisture and termite damage. If you can afford to give a little to help keep this bit of pulp history alive, it would be appreciated. rehfoundation.org/save-the-reh...

Here at Goblins & Galaxies, we love a good bug story, if you can't tell from Timaeus Bloom's "Bugmen and Proud of It." We also love the classic Warren magazines like Eerie. If you thought you could escape the alien terrors, I'm afraid I have bad news.

That's literally all the people want, Kevin
