The Speed Queen . . . when the time comes

“When” not “if.” My day has been made.

[Brian James Freeman]

My top five O'Nan titles are in no particular order are:

• A Prayer for the Dying
• Songs for the Missing
• The Speed Queen
• The Circus Fire
• Ocean State

I will also give honorable mention to Last Night at the Lobster. It is more novella that novel and extremely quirky but a well told story.

My dream title would be The Speed Queen with an essay from O'Nan about the original title and why it never saw print under that title and an essay by a certain author who was part of the original title!

More O'Nan please, I love his writing!

Yeah, my dream foreword to The Speed Queen would be called "Dear Stewart O'Nan" and would be written by you know who. I'm going to suggest the idea when the time comes, even though I suspect I know the answer!

…and of course by AMONG THE MISSING I meant SONGS FOR THE MISSING. Not sure where that mangled title came from…I think that’s a Laymon title!

My brain autocorrected it.

[RonClinton]

It’s probably my third or fourth favorite O’Nan, preceded only by OCEAN STATE, SPEED QUEEN, and *maybe* AMONG THE MISSING, but if push-come-to-shove it could take that third spot from AMONG.

I love how different people's "Fav O'Nan" lists can be. He's such a versatile author, so you see a lot of different results. As of this year, I'll have published my top 2, and we're working on the rights to #3 on my list... Which is on your list as well!

Glad to hear that! Haven't read this one and the description sounds great. Always nice to also know that someone on the forum enjoyed it as well.

A PRAYER FOR THE DYING. It’s a terrific read.

SEVEN SHADES OF EVIL by Robert McCammon trade paperback publication day! https://lividian.com/seven-shades-of...ion-published/

[sholloman81]

It's a pretty small book in terms of page count, and I've been kind of bummed out by how many books have HAD to make the jump to $150 or $175 to cover the increased production costs, so I figured I would price this one as low as I could.

Brian

You're the best Brian! I'm sure this will earn you lots of goodwill as I know that we collectors notice this kind of thing for sure. THANKS!

I am impressed. At first, I thought you were showing the price without slipcase but had a picture without.

[Brian James Freeman]

How are you offering this with slipcase for $100?
