Intriguing Stephen King/King Related/Dark Tower Auctions-Sales

[Ben Staad]

I'm not sure what these are but I thought it looked interesting because of the (per the ebay description) intro's by SK:

Yes, there's a series of Stephen King Library books (or something like that) with King intros, about six books in total I think?

It's actually called The Stephen King Horror Library.

From Ms. Mod over at the official forum:

"It was a series published by Bookspan of Steve's top ten (at that time) horror books by other authors. Each title included an introduction by Steve. The titles and authors are:

Something Wicked by Ray Bradbury
The Doll Who Ate His Mother by Ramsey Campbell
Strange Wine by Harlan Ellison
The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney
The Fog by James Herbert
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
The Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson
The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons
Ghost Story by Peter Straub "

[Brice]

Did they actually release all of them? I thought they just did the three posted above and stopped.

Thanks, HR!

You Scottish do!

We kill' em, and sell the bones to the English for beer. Is there anything better?

IRN BRU is better than beer! But the english dont have it ;-)

FYI...Scotland is one of the very few countries in the World where Coke is not the best selling soft drink - take a bow BRU..and I genuinely am sitting here writing this with a 250ml bottle of IRN BRU in my left hand...made in Scotland from girders

Come on, if i know IRN BRU, you cannot seriously think that i dont know that? ;-)
I regularly go to Scotland.. and as a matter of fact i was gonna leave after browsing the forum, to go buy some cans of IRN BRU at a shop next to my train station !

[Shannon]

Damn, herbertwest beat me to it. They're nice books to have, although the "Introductions" are just excerpts from Danse Macabre (per Justin Brooks).

[harrison ryan]

Thanks for the clarification, guys!

HaHa...sitting at my kitchen table sipping on my last bottle...Poundstretcher will be getting a visit tomorrow so I can replenish my stocks - (£1 for 4 x 250ml bottles).

Maybe I should start a Worldwide campaign to get folks to switch from coke to BRU. It really is very much better...tastier, nicer colour and not as bad for you...my view of course.

Anyone out there who hasn't tried it...please give it a go...YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

And while you're at it...grab a handful of Lees macaroon bars too...Karen, you would just love these. Come to think of it, I might just send you a box.

[harrison ryan]

So it's a soda? Or an alcoholic beverage? I was just looking at their site and I couldn't tell.

Nevermind, I did a lil more research...

Shhhhhh. Don't tell them about Lees macaroon bars. We want them all for ourselves.

[agrabin]

Lees, Lees, more if you please
All of us beg on our bended knees
For p*********s and grandpappas
It's Lees for luscious macaroon bars

BRU rules...

[agrabin]

Sorry Mods...I'm way off topic but I had to let you share the power of the BRU. In anticipation of a rebuke, I stand reprimanded.

Way more sugar as well!
So i went to the store after browsing on the forum, and i couldnt believe it : they dont sell irn bru anymore! B*st*rds!
I'll have to go to an english grocery store in Paris to get my cans...

I dont know those..

Love that Pennywise, but it's a little pricy. I think I'll go bid on some fuzzy dice instead.

Rubbish. The seller knows they have a 2nd/1st, otherwise why tease it as unknown?

I can't tell from that third pic whether the boards are black or brown, though, at least not with absolute certainty. Looks like a Second Edition. Easy enough for the seller to identify without opening the shrinkwrap. The seller seems to think there's such a thing as a 1st/2nd Gunslinger. To my knowledge, there is not. The listing looks more like ignorance than dishonesty...?
