    I don't know how complete it is but Centipede Press has a pretty cool edition via their Masters of The Weird Tales series... pricey but very cool none the less.

    Wow I didn't realize it went OOP so quickly. I have the limited but don't even remember when it arrived. I just have to get organized one of these days...but it is a great book.
    Amen.

    That really is awesome, isn't it? Way back in the day, I had an English teacher/yearbook advisor in high school who asked me if I could record that episode for her to use in one of her classes...

    My favorite story by Poe has to be The cask of Amontillado. The first line was sheer brilliance. Love me some Edgar, ya'll.

    Love Poe

    CD #61. I might have arranged that because I wanted more readers to read it. I think it then got reprinted somewhere else, too...

    I have been a huge fan of O'Nan's work for a long time, maybe since Snow Angels. You never know what he's going to write next, no two books are the same, and even when he writes something I didn't think I would like, I end up liking it!

    Monsters is one of my favorite short stories of his, and I love how the chapbook turned out. I hope you can find one on the secondary market!
