‘The Pluto Pact’ – Guy N. Smith (Hamlyn)

Page Count: 187 Pages I’ve got a few books on the go but the last week, or so, has seen me fail to really get to grips with any of them. Not the fault of the books at all, this one is all down to me for reasons surrounding work, the weather being too damn hot, and looking after my girl’s pets while they were away. I never thought that looking after a cat and a rabbit would be any bother… Not until the weather got really hot, last week, and a pissed off rabbit decided that it was all the cat’s fault… Anyway.

Smith Mythos tale, that I hadn’t read, that originally had me hitting the ‘Order’ button and even though I’ve already read ‘Only The End of the World’, that was years ago and it’s in this collection so that was an easy decision to make. Quick thoughts again for this post, I hope you don’t mind 😉 These were two very quick reads and I’ve got a few other bits that I need to get done today…  ‘Return to Innsmouth’ – Guy...
