Centipede will be releasing.....

I missed out on the signed copy but I placed an order for this tonight. Looking forward to reading through it.

Grabbed a signed copy. I’ve never read Sheckley, but from what I’ve read about him over the last week is that he sounds a bit like Fredric Brown, which makes him an automatic buy for me.

Sheckley is awesome. I haven't read much, if any, of his stuff since the '80s, when I had a lot of his books. I'm looking forward to this new volume.

You can see my old Sheckley Omnibus in this box of books that were packed up in 1990 and left at my parents' house. I found it and opened it in 2019, but gave most of the books to a local thrift shop. It wasn't worth the extra baggage charge to bring this back across the Atlantic.

Love Eugene Izzi, now there is a story. As for Sheckley, the dude was married 5, Five, 5 times. Clearly he has something to say HAHAH!!

I loved all three of his early St. Martins books. The Take is one of my favorite Heist Books. His life was just sort of tragic by any measure.

It's a pretty wild mystery, one which will likely never be solved definitively.

I'd like to think it was an accident. But as you said, we'll never know.

Woah! That's nuts. Definitely seems like suicide to me. The amount of details that his manuscript got right makes it seem like he was hoping his death would draw more press attention.

We'll never know though.

Also, I hadn't realized that Max Booth III wrote articles like that!

It's sad and I have no idea about this mans personal life. Based on the little bit of eccentric behavior noted in the article I would suspect he may have had some challenges. Could have been a suicide or accidental suicide. I also noted that Max Booth III wrote this. Like you, I never knew, he wrote articles.

Either way I truly hope he is somewhere in the ether doing things which makes him happy. May he rest in peace.
