    His work is indeed quite good, but is, for me, rather difficult to describe, just as they’re not easy reads to digest nor, sometimes, understand. Often oblique, his paranoiac fever dreams focus on the inevitability of doom and hopelessness on the surrealist hostilities and manifestations of psyche his characters battle. It’s esoteric and of a rather decadent European flavor, and my current mood just couldn’t abide 700 pages of that right now. I know I’ll kick myself in a few years, though…fortunately I still have Ash Tree’s HC of THE MOTION DEMON to help soothe the loss.
    Sounds like how I feel about Ramsey Campbell's short stories. I really like his work, but I have to take them in short sips to truly appreciate them. From what you're saying, I'll probably have to parse these stories out over time instead of just plowing right through. That's okay, though. Sometimes I have to remind myself that the joy is primarily in the reading of the book, not from the sense of accomplishment in finishing it.

    I know that sort of takes away from the extravagance of the MotWT titles, but I love having the smaller and more affordable volumes.

    I passed on today's title, but I'll still have to check the author out.
    I'm a fan of both the MotWT and Library of Weird Fiction series. I do like the more affordable editions and I'm glad that he's doing those, especially since he's opened it up to including titles that haven't been in the MotWT series with his Bram Stoker volume. I do have a fondness for the MotWT series, though. This huge slipcased editions are just so nice. I have to be honest, though. This newest one will be the sixth entry I own in the series and I haven't read a single one yet. Some of this is just due to have to reading these at home because it's not like you can easily through these in the backpack to read while sitting on the beach.

    I'd reach out to Jerad at Centipede. See if he can find out anything on his end.

    Same. I keep looking and hope they sell out soon. LOL.

If the discount was more than ten bucks, or now $285, maybe something closer to $200 or $225, I’d probably spring for a copy, figuring I’d certainly read it at some point down the road.

    I bought a signed copy this morning. Though I've yet to read Grabinski, I've always meant to, and figure this will be the right way to do it. Can't wait, as this sounds right up my Weird, Bleak alley.

    I have the Ash Tree collection, and decided that was adequate for me. Been mulling this one over for the last week, but am content with my decision…mostly. He’s quite good, so it was a difficult choice to make.

    Somebody else pointed out that CP does about 25 books a year, so yes, it will be a long and winding road lol!! Push, Jerad always drops a few surprise titles, so we will see.

    I've almost bought this twice since the newsletter. Think I'm passing but I will regret it later. I hadn't read this book but sounds like something I would get a kick out of.

    On a related note, I’m kind of surprised to see signed/#d copies of the Hallahan novel still available for order more than 24 hours after offering. Feels like it’s been a while since each offering is an almost instant sell-out.
