Happy Birthday, though belated by minutes to Charles Beaumont

Yesterday, January 2nd marked the birthday of Charles Beaumont. For those of you who know me, you know the esteem and reverence I have for Mr. Beaumont who was taken from in 1967 at the age of 38. He and his genius continues to be missed.

A Celebration of Charles Beaumont is on Lurid-lit.com now!!!

We celebrate one of my heroes---a true literary giant of horror and science fiction; Charles Beaumont. If you know the 'The Twilight Zone'; whether it be "The Howling Man", Talky Tina; "The Beautiful People" Mr. Beaumont was a true original; a true creative force; and a writer whose influence and mark is as indelible as any. He deserves to be in the pantheon with Poe and Bierce. Stop by Lurid-lit.com for a read.
