The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: New short story collection (11/03/15)

[Merlin1958]

Currently in the midst of reading "UR". Really enjoying this story!!!

[Girlystevedave]

This collection was really good. Some of the stories were pretty dark and disturbing (Morality is one that comes to mind), but I found that most of the stories really pulled me in in a way that short stories don't usually do.

[Brainslinger]

I haven't read all of this yet, but so far I've enjoyed it. I ordered it with some trepidation as I had an idea that it was a repackaging of stories published elsewhere. So far, the majority of stuff is new to me though. And the one that isn't was a good reread.

[Brian James Freeman]

A new update (with a new photo!) about our aftermarket slipcase for THE BAZAAR OF BAD DREAMS will be going out today to those who preordered it from us!
