Thunderstorm Books

Bought the neon recluse paperbacks. I have successfully found Leader of the Banned so I now have the first 11 black voltages. Lights Out will probably be as hard to find as The Decieved.

Finally found The Decieved. It and the neon recluse paperbacks came today. So my elemental set is finally completed!

So it looks like Demonic will be the last book in Thunderstorm's Jeff Strand-specific Gleefully Macabre line. I tapped out after the third book in the series mostly because I decided that I couldn't continue to commit to previously announced 4+ books a year. Now I'm kinda bummed as I would have held on for two more books to have a complete matching set.

I caved and now my wallet is pissed at me. I'm really hoping that I will like this line of books. Have never read this author and can't find too much online; however, I've been a sucker for pretty much all things Thunderstorm, excluding their Hard Rain line which I didn't care for as I don't really enjoy case laminate books. Am trying to tell myself this will be an XMAS present to myself. A book collector's line of justification...

I don't think the Hard Rain line was that popular at all. I think it was Paul's way of having more affordable versions of titles to get more readers. It's a great idea, but just didn't take off.

I have held fast on not buying the Neon Recluse line. It probably helps that I spent a nice chunk on some other Thunderstorm stuff instead. I'd love to see pictures of the book when it arrives! I'm very curious.

Congrats. I'm sure you will be thrilled with it. Thunderstorm Books are always very nice.

Trying hard to be strong and pass on this morning’s announcement. Â I haven’t read the author before and the cover art doesn’t do a lot for me BUT I am always a sucker for a new line of books.

I thought about going the PB way but the story didn't sound like my thing. I'm sure it's great but likely not for me.

Hang tough, Brother.

I haven't read any of Smith's Depraved series. I run rather lukewarm on his stuff. Should I be hunting down the first three books in the series?

If you do, be careful with the Bitter Ale editions. They look amazing but the material used for binding is notorious for picking up damage if you think about it the wrong way.

I’ve only read the first one at the moment but I really enjoyed it. If you’re a fan of the redneck cannibal genre (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, etc) you’ll get a kick out of it.

I received a lettered copy of Depraved 4 directly from Bryan Smith's store. This edition has seven chapters of an early discarded draft which I thought was neat.

I'm a big fan of the style of these Screaming Cacti lettered editions that Thunderstorm is doing.

Just got my Thunderstorm shipment with "Anybody Home" by Michael J Seidlinger, "Braineater Jones" by Stephen Kozeniewski, and "The Ecstasy of Agony" by Wrath James White. Have never read any of these books or authors and am excited by each of them. Hopefully, I will find some new favorites!

I think I'll grab the Unhinged by David Bernstein next.

Circumstances have forced me to discontinue my TSB collection - I have a complete TSB collection up to today, all number 32 or letter K. Before I break them up and become virtually a TSB store, I thought I would make an offer to collectors: You can now take over number 32 and/or letter K for all future releases (with Paul's approval as he has already agreed) I am making my books available to serious collectors, for instance if you take over #32 for Black Voltage going forward, and want a complete collection, we can make arrangements to transfer the collection gradually, maybe 20 or 30 books per month. Private Reserve letter K can work the same way. I will also sell the first group of Screaming Cacti lettered so a collector can jump in and get a complete letter K of Cacti. Splatter Westerns group 1 also available as a set. Anyone interested, let me know and we can discuss arrangements.

Wow. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re having to do this. It must’ve been a hard decision to make.

With a collection of this size, it might be worthwhile to try selling through Camelot. Their cut of the proceeds might be offset by the the higher price tag you might get. I’m sure there are people out there willing to pay a premium for a matching set.
