Um, whoops?

Sometimes eBay is a dangerous place. Because there you are, innocently toodling around with assorted keyword searches, and then next thing you know, you've purchased a collection of 21 paperback gothic novels.

What? Look, just file this under my same somewhat ridiculous weakness for bombastic metal bands and movies like the remake of The Phantom Of The Opera. Glorious, over-the-top, cheesetastic fun.

Besides, how could anyone resist a book called House Of Tombs with the teaser text of "Two beautiful women, a love-starved madman and a bizarre ritual murder ... Weregild Island's ghastly secret would soon be known only to history!"? C'mon! It'll be all sorts of delightful!

I've definitely surfed the ebay waves and walked away with jack skellington paraphernalia or a load of vampire novels. Small doses make it ok

I think I need to arrange to borrow some of your books when I'm low on entertaining schlock to read. :)

I call that a good idea. You get a nice lot of cheesy reads in one swoop. That's smart shopping right there. And if you got them for a good price, even better!

You're so right. I wouldn't have resisted either. XD

It sounds lovely! I love the anticipation of waiting for my Ebay purchases to arrive!

That's actually how I ended up getting a movie called "Lesbian Vampire Slayers". It looked too good to pass up. It's hilarious and awesome all at once.
