Sounds like Dennis McMillan...they did that with a number of their releases, and it's kinda silly both in concept and appearance. I have a couple such books, and have to chuckle when on occasion I...

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some ephemera out there that would be of interest to you. I've seen several marketing things from Pocket, his paperback publisher back in the...

Congrats! Do you have his Dark Harvest signed/limiteds as well, or are you focusing just on the newer Sub Press editions?

Fantastic… I opted for the SST edition rather than the Cemetery Dance edition (though I did read a trade ed.), so I’m very much looking forward to finally receiving this.

I don’t dispute your take on King or Simmons, but I do think Mccammon is an example of sustaining skill rather than peaking late. When one considers SWAN SONG, BOY’S LIFE, and WOLF’S HOUR, it’s...

This one's definitely a case of not judging the book by the cover...the plot sounds terrific, as was the excerpt that I read at EW -- but that cover... <_<

I suppose I understand to some small...

I think it might be! I was surprised to see that, too.

Wow, sure wish I'd stumble upon those kinds of deals...that buyer is one lucky guy (and is probably wondering (along with the seller) why in the heck someone else didn't also bid).

Finished SPEAKS THE NIGHTBIRD, which was, as mentioned above, my first (and overdue) foray into McCammon's series, and while it did feel overly long and unnecessarily padded, I did enjoy it and am...

Over the weekend I picked up a Fine/Fine 1st HC of SPEAKS THE NIGHTBIRD at the half-price sale my local bookstore was having, so it brought it down from an-already friendly $9.99 to $5. I already...

Yes, and not surprisingly, it's quite good. It's great to revisit the characters and whatnot...for me, it didn't quite capture the magic of WOLF'S HOUR, but that could be more a result of the short...

^^^ No real arguments there, save for WOLF'S HOUR at near the bottom...I've always felt it was one of his best (#3 on my Top McCammons). I'm surprised to see it so low on your list.

I envy you the opportunity to read McCammon's BOY'S LIFE, SWAN SONG, and WOLF'S HOUR for the first time...those are three very special books.

That's how I'd rank McCammon's Top Four work as well, with probably STINGER in 5th slot. I haven't started the Corbett series yet (though have them all in signed trade HC, just waiting to be read),...

Me too. I couldn't believe a guy like McCammon could have been writing for so long and I had never heard of him. He is every bit as good as King. Hands down better than Simmons, Koontz or any of...

^^^ I have BETTER WEIRD on its way to me right now. Looking forward to it; I was a big fan of Silva's work, both editorial and written.

Since this is for a very specific title, I'm repeating this Classified ad on this McCammon board.

For sale: a BAAL slipcase -- for the Firecrest/Chivers UK 1st HC edition.

Looks like my S/L copy of BOY'S LIFE is arriving tomorrow...thrilled to add this one -- surely one of my Top Ten books -- to my shelf.

His first three books -- Baal, Bethany's Sin, and The Night Boat -- are all okay, though representative of a beginning writer learning his craft...of those, The Night Boat is probably my favorite....

I found the first book in this series a little slow going (although still good) but things pick up and it becomes addictive. The great thing about coming to the series late is that you have several...
