Gauntlet Press (with and w/out Borderlands partnership)...

I broke down and pre-ordered the two F. Paul Wilson LE's (The Upwelling & Lexie) that Gauntlet will be producing in 2025. I'm a huge F. Paul Wilson fan and just couldn't resist. I know that Gauntlet doesn't produce the most lavish LEs these days, but $60 a piece seemed fair for the price/production, and due to health issues, these may well be the last books that Wilson ever publishes. Glad we will be getting them but very bittersweet.

Don’t blame you…I’ve been toying with the idea of those two as well. I’ve been a Wilson for…forever, and it seems almost important to get these two as a farewell and thanks for all the wonderful entertainment he’s provided to me over the decades.

i AGREE. I will order these books. Wilson is a master,

Wilson is a fantastic author. Congrats on the pre-orders and hope Gauntlet does this story right.

Glad to see that the Upwelling is shipping soon! Can't believe The Upwelling & Lexie will be F. Paul Wilson's last books. Makes me sad. Seems like I've been reading Wilson's stuff forever. Don't recall ever reading anything bad by Wilson and his Repaiman Jack stuff makes me insanely happy. I guess all good things come to an end, but it's still bittersweet.

Just received my copy of The Upwelling. The cover artwork looks a bit nicer than the usual Gauntlet clipart. May hold off on reading it until I receive Lexie so that I can read them back-to-back but am not sure as I've been looking forward to reading this one!

Just received my copy of F. Paul Wilson's "Lexie", his last book. Very happy to have it but sad that we will be getting no more F. Paul Wilson books in the future! Glad he was able to finish his Repairman Jack series before his illness.

Anybody picking up the new Bradbury collection, PTERODACTYLS: A COLLECTION OF STORIES...? I may pick up a copy of the unsigned edition once it hits the streets as it does sound kind of interesting. That said, while I love Bradbury and have a full shelf of his work, I don't know that I need early variants of stories I presumably already own in their later (and better?) form and I'm not enough of a critical academic of his work that I need to compare and contrast texts, so we'll see. Nice, though, that this material is finding its way out in the world so those who do enjoy studying his work in a more serious manner can have them as reference.

Thanks for the link. I'm tempted with this one but I'm not a huge fan of this press.

Weird statement from them on payment method as well.

Note: We suggest you use PayPal when ordering this and other Gauntlet titles. We’ve noticed over the past few months that many credit cards have been declined, and the cumbersome process of trying to reach out for updates has resulted in customers missing out on securing their copies of the book ordered. Although we will continue to take credit card orders, we will be giving priority to orders using PayPal. Please reach out with any concerns or questions regarding this matter.

This a publisher that I will no longer do business with so as much as it interests me it will not be a consideration.
