I understand these are somewhat hard to get as he really did not sign gift ed.

Congrats, Mike on Sleeping Beauties! A beast of a book. I received the GE the other day and even it's freakin' huge!

[MikeDuke]

Next is the first and only book I have read so far, Weaveworld.

[MikeDuke]

Next is the proof of Weaveworld

[MikeDuke]

Next is The Great and Secret Show

[MikeDuke]

Now we have Everville



These two go together.

[MikeDuke]

Now we have The Damnation Game

[MikeDuke]

Next is The Midnight Meat Train


This has a number of illustrations. Let me know if anybody is interested in seeing some

[MikeDuke]

And Now we come to the biggies. These are hard to find as matching sets. Here are the books of blood.

[MikeDuke]

That's it, that's all the Barker I have so far. Hope you all like it. Plus the King stuff of course.

[Brian861]

Great Barker collection, Mike!

I am not a Barker fan, far from it, but those books are very interesting.
Being an aficionado of the weird (whatever that means), can you tell me whether the illustration on the jacket of BOOKS OF BLOOD VOLUME 3 is of a story in the book? I kind of like the picture.

It may be. But I can't tell from just the cover. The titles really don't match up with the pic on the cover.

Great Barker collection, Mike!

Thanks Brian. I can tell you already that I am not stopping and more are in the pipe line.

I think it’s a combination of elements from “Son of Celluloid” and “Rawhead Rex.” But like Mike said, it’s not a direct match with any story. If you haven’t read The Books of Blood yet, though, I highly recommend them. Some of the best short stories I have ever read are in there.

Supernice new books, BIG CONGRATS Mike !!!

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Guys. Yea. I am happy with this as a start. I know there are a few more things that I want to get. There are also different versions of what I got so I may go after some of them at a later time after I get stuff I don't have yet. As of now, I am now moving back into King. You guys will just have to wait for a while before the reveal.

Thanks Antoni. There is still more King I have to read first, but I will squeeze some Barker in there as well.

[Garrell]

Great stuff, Congrats!!!!

Amazing haul, Mike. Fantastic stuff.

(As a casual Barker collector myself, I'm drooling over your latest acquisitions. Congrats).

Looks great,Mike..Congratulations

[MikeDuke]

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the support. Like I said, I am not done yet. But I have a King item I want to get first. It will take 4 months to get it.

Great Barker stuff! Do yourself a favor a pick up a reading copy of The Damnation Game - it's his best, IMO, although I have not read all of his stuff
