Dude, I’m so jealous. Feel free to post pics so I can drool over them!

LOL.

[Sock Monkey]

Same here. My Lettered HSB is due in today as well!

Ah, gotcha. Yes, my email mentioned those plural items as well, but I was kind of expecting them. :-) I think you're correct about them only going to Patreon supporters at the Lividian level.

I will remain vague until I have the items in hand and post pictures to my collection thread. I will say that the shipping notice mentions something I was not expecting, and it is mentioned in plural. I will add that that these may be only going to persons at the Livdian levels of Brian's Patreon.

Hmmm... curious. My email didn't contain any surprises, unless you are referring to some Patreon goodies that are shipping with the chapbook?

Nothing extra was mentioned in my email either.

And the shipping notification email for the chapbook had a nice little surprise in it!

I did not read any reviews until after I finished the book. The negative reviews I read mentioned characters that they did not believe would act as they did. I honestly did not agree with the reviews I read but I will admit I was reading a ghost story, so I was not looking for realism. I really enjoyed it and know I will be reading it again. I will say that Impossible Fortress is a hard act to follow and if I had to choose between the two, I would put Impossible Fortress on top. I will add with these as his first two books, I will be reading whatever he puts out next!

I will add that as I was reading this book it felt perfect for what Lividian is doing. The trade has interior art that is part of the story, A relatively unknown author and a story that fits in with the current Lividian catalog.

Okay, you sold me (and, yes, the character(s) motivations issue was the consensus I saw as well, I’ll pick up a copy the next time I hit Costco (I saw it the last I was there…nice that a relatively (but deserving) unknown author was able to break in to their distribution channel).

I loved Rekulak's IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS, but a slew of negative reviews have shied me away from HIDDEN PICTURES. Is it, in fact, a good one?

I am hoping for another author who has not yet received limited treatment. Specifically want to see Jason Rekulak's Hidden Pictures. It would need to use the interior illustrations from the trade edition as they are perfect for the story.

Yep. Although I’m okay with MYSTERY WALK being given the diss…MYSTERY WALK, THE FIVE, and BETHANY’S SIN are my three least favorite of his.

I liked The Five, but didn't get out of it what most people seemed to.
