This is another Chizine title getting some attention from SST (growing things being the other), picking up this edition for sure. Old man scratch was a great novella published by PS if I remember correctly.

I received the SST email overnight and yes, this is book that has been on my TBR for a while so I decided it was time to place my first order directly from SST. I do have a couple of their books that I ordered via CD.
I will be honest. I am generally a very patient person. Current life events have taken a toll and my patience is not what it normally is. With said during the order process I came close to walking away. Created an account and proceeded to checkout without issue. When I entered a payment method the site gave me an error that they could not process my credit card and to try again later or call them. I know there is no issue with the card but decided to try another card. Same message. At this point I considered walking away. Decided to tray using Paypal as it was an option. Went into Paypal and tried with one of the same cards I tried to use directly. Order processed with no issue. Hopefully this is not a recurring theme, but the timing was bad. Am very interest in the book and the price was reasonable.

Surprised so few people on the forum seem to have read this author. I remember first reading him after picking up the novella that CD published "The Angels". Reminded me a lot of "Blockade Billy", but not in a bad way. Then read his novel "The Forgotten Girl". Also enjoyed that one; however, I would put it more on the fantasy/mystery side of things than horror. Since then, I've had my out for more books from this author. Had never heard of "Westlake Soul" until the SST announcement. With the level of praise/excitement from SST to publish this book, I had to order the limited. Can't wait to read it this summer/fall!

I decided to go for this one too, based on this thread and the reviews I looked at. The 'books on order' list is getting longer every day

I just want to say that if you are on the fence about their latest offering, you need to jump down off that fence with both feet firmly planted on the side of buying it. This is hands down one of my favorite books of all time. The plot synopsis of the book does not do the execution justice. I don't want to oversell the book, but if you are a fan of humanistic fantastical fiction, this should be high on your reading list.

Originally posted by jeffingoff View PostI need to do this--list out every pre-order. You and I have some similar pending deliveries. And looking at your list (like mine) some of the titles really jump out because the trade editions have been long ago published while we wait for the limited editions. I'm looking at Flight or Fright (my order receipt doesn't even list the name of the book it lists it as "CDCC Secret Link -- DO NOT SHARE!"--oh shit did I just break a law??) and Gwendy's MFer.
Gwendy's MFer sounds like the Penthouse Letters edition...poor Gwendy!
