Just got my shipping notice for The Devil's Pocketbook. Always exciting!

Has anyone read the other book being offered, Anathema by Nick Roberts? Have never heard of this author or book and am considering rolling the dice as I almost always enjoy the Thunderstorm author lineup.

Always love when the 1st of the month rolls around and Thunderstorm posts their new pre-orders. Passed on the lettered and grabbed the other two.

As I've mentioned before, I'm taking a review of my purchasing habits and what is actually within the ol' budget--which I made a habit of blowing the last couple of years--and so I haven't quite settled on what I'll purchase. If I do pick up anything, it'll be the lettered.

I was quite surprised to manage to grab full brutal and the chapbook. First chance to grab either one. The hunt continues.

Nice I just got the 2 new splatter westerns and full brutal in today. I also grabbed dust and divorcing the dead chapbook.

Sweet haul!

Thanks, everyone! This was a set that I didn't think I'd ever be able to track down and it just dropped in my lap. Very happy to have it in the collection. And I love the endpapers as well, especially the ones for The Special.

Fantastic pick ups. Those are some super sexy looking books. Congrats and Merry Christmas to you!

Wow, those are super nice! Love those end-papers.

Congratulations! I’m not particularly familiar with this series, but it certainly looks like a great batch of books by a host of solid authors.

Now here's my Christmas gift!

Paul listed some rare editions on the Clubhouse page and when I saw these I had to snatch them up. I had the first two titles in the past, but had sold them when I was downsizing/changing directions in collecting. After a while, I would up regretting it because you just don't see these guys show up often or at all. These are all PC. I don't mind, though. I have equal opportunity bookshelves. They are signed, but I didn't want to overload with too many pictures so I just included one because I like that one the most, I think.

The six book set of Nightmare Alley lettered editions.

Not the Christmas gift I hinted at earlier, but I did pick up this bad boy. Not the rarest Thunderstorm book, but up there.

Mine was WALK THE SKY by David B. Silva and Robert Swartwood — the signed and numbered edition with add’l stories and interviews. I’m a big Silva fan, and this is his only longer work I haven’t read, and I’ve been hoping remedy that for many years.

Very nice! I love the aesthetics of the Thunderstorm's Douglas Western series and I'm sad that it seems to have been replaced by the Splatter Westerns. Nothing against the Splatter Westerns because I do like them as well--I do have a matching set and all--but the look of the Douglas Westerns just evokes a Western to me. I need to fill in the rest the holes in my Douglas Western set, but I haven't decided yet if that's what the goal will be for 2025.
