For those that like Robert McCammon, he's written a novella containing Michael Gallatin from The Wolf's Hour :

Robert McCammon has just turned in a brand-new 36,000 word novella, "The Room at the Bottom of the Stair" about a further WWII adventure of Michael Gallatin that will be included in The Wolf's Hour, pushing the book to just shy of 700 pages. We expect the inclusion of this major piece of new fiction will drive sales of this limited edition, making it a must have for every serious McCammon fan.
To accommodate the expected demand for The Wolf's Hour - this novella was a last minute addition, long after the book was announced - with Mr. McCammon's permission we've decided to increase the print run to 750 copies, to cover the increased printing costs, to compensate the author for a significant new piece of fiction, and to give his many fans a chance at this important collectible edition.

I've ordered a copy and it makes me realize that I need to reread a lot of my early McCammon. I reread SWAN SONG about a year ago but it has been ten year plus since I have taken a look at those other early books. I remember liking WOLF'S HOUR quite a lot.

Swan Song is the first McCammon book that I picked up. I was hooked on his work after that.

I'm still debating purchasing the Limited Edition of Wolf's Hour. I'm sure SP will do a fine job with it.

And finally an affordable lettered edition too!

Sub Press usually prices their lettereds at $500 without production values to warrant it.

When I first got into Stephen King in the late seventies, there was one other horror author I read with the same passion - James Herbert. Compared to King, his writing was more in-your-face, but I loved his early output, and he wrote some memorable stuff: The Rats, The Dark, Lair, Domain, The Spear, and my favourite, The Fog. So when I heard that Jerad at Centipede was publishing an edition, I just had to get it. And once again, Jerard has produced a beautiful book:

Gorgeous. Congratulations.

[lophophoras]

I have never read that one. I considered purchasing a copy but didn't.

I'm going to have to give him a try. Is The Fog a good book to start with?

[Brice]

Yes, it is.

And I love Bradbury though I don't really have enough to say I collect his books. I'm sure there's many here who do collect his books though.

[jemaher]

Ive really enjoyed collecting the early Bradbury from the 50's ans 60's

[Fsmdr]

anybody collect ray bradbury?

I do. Although I do not collect Bradbury as aggressively as King. I have 27 books signed by Bradbury. A few S/L, the rest are recent books I acquired in the last few years as Bradbury actually lives very close to me....about 10 miles. He does not travel anymore (health issue) but does appearances locally. If you like, PM me your email address and I'll let you know the next time he has an event here.

[goathunter]

Thanks for the photos of The Fog. I've been thinking about picking it up. I remember loving the novel when I first read back in '79 or '80. Definitely one of the best Herbert books. I was a huge James Herbert fan until The Magic Cottage. After that, for a while anyway, he seemed to trend more toward fantasy than horror and I eventually lost all interest. I've read a couple of his books since then, but didn't think they were that great. But his early stuff, up through and including Shrine, was fantastic.

If it is Stories you are talking about I have it. My copy is signed by Neil and on the way to Al Sarrantonio to be signed. My copy also has the type written story by Tim Powers’ “Parallel Lines” that didn't appear in the ARC but will be published in the final hardcover copy scheduled to be released on June 15, 2010

A new story by Palahniuk too? He doesn't publish too many short stories.

[Cujo56]

chuck palahniuk is coming to my town on the 8th. I've been trying to decide if I want to go. The price for a ticket is like $32 to listen to him speak & get a signed book "Tell All".
You can usually get a signed book at the store after the event.

[Patrick]

Ralph, I am so jealous of your signed STORIES! Congratulations!

Cujo, I would go see Palahniuk in a heartbeat as it sounds like the admission price includes the book, yes?
