Little Book Series 3

[Martin]

I like the addition of Crouch...that’s great news. Frankly, I don’t get the inclusion of Owen King as this series has always been to showcase genre masters...Owen King is more literary than genre.

Having only read Crouch's Pines trilogy and really liking it, I look forward to having a reason to read more from him.

While I hope that's the case for your sake, Jeff, I think it is far more likely to see Mr. King fall off that list than Mr. Little.

This. And, I can verify that that is indeed BP owner Tom Montelone's eBay listing. This... seems like bad news to me. Hopefully not, but..

Nice sleuthing! I think you're on to something. If that's the case, either the publisher or someone close to BP, then my great hope is that Blake Crouch is replacing Bentley Little.

Total speculation on my part: Looking at items this seller is offering or sold and several are Borderlands or Montelone titles. This may be the publisher or someone close. No way to tell but I think the information may be accurate.

AND if this is someone very close to BP, then it makes even more sense that the seller would include a plug for the BP newsletter. Very interesting.

Well this is interesting--according to some random individual selling Little Books on eBay, Blake Crouch will appear in seres 3! Here's his statement:
The remaining 7 titles in Series III will be published every 2 or 3 months by Borderlands Press. You can get on their mailing list to keep track of each new book which will include titles by Ramsey Campbell, Owen King, Robert R. McCammon, Blake Crouch, and others.

And here's the link (super low starting bid!):

Does this individual have reliable information?? Should the list be updated?

I was just reading through some old correspondence and Borderlands did mention Robert McCammon in their newsletter from June 2019. Copied and pasted:

"Series III is almost completely sold out. It’s not too late to subscribe to the entire series of great Little Books with some upcoming writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Robert R. McCammon, Caitlyn Kiernan, and others to be announced. To set up your subscription, Contact us at [email protected]."

Me too! He's a fantastic writer.

Straub is hit and miss for me. When hits he is as good as it gets, Lost Boy Lost Girl is an example of that. When he misses is can be about as bad as it gets, example Mr. X. Not sure about this one yet. I will need to see more details and if it is made available from other sellers.

I’ve got to give Floating Dragon a try.

Thanks! I’ve now signed up for their newsletter. I love Straub’s work.
