    Hingston & Olsen Ghost Box III:

    Received notification of this yesterday while on the road and by the time I got home the Limited was sold out.

    Ghost Box is returning for a third and final edition. There is also a 100 copy limited signed by the editor that sold out quickly.

    I always regretted not picking up the previous ones. This one I don't care for the looks of. Fairly petty reason is that I don't like the color.

      I love these Ghost Boxes. I'm not normally one to go for Halloween-themed special material or book(s) that could be concieved as a bit gimmicky...but I do love these. Probably because I love chapbooks and Oswald's taste in authors and their standout work is consistently strong. I have the other two,and immediately ordered this third and last Box as soon as I saw it offered...I was especially excited to see Charles Beaumont included as one of the authors in this third Box.

      I had a chance to get the S/L edition (though just barely, as it sold out an hour or two later) but passed...I get these for the authors' work, the contents within, not the autograph of a celebrity comic (with good taste in horror fiction) at twice the price.

        I would have paid the premium for the limited but am happy to be getting a complete set.

          I received a shipping notice for this about 12 hours after I placed my order.

              Now that I know it will be a set of three I am obsessing about how to properly display them.

                I just noticed that the price listed is Canadian currency. Just as an FYI to the US based folks.

                  I checked the exchange rate before ordering. Yesterday it was at 0.75 Canadian to 1.00 US so it was basically 25% cheaper than it looked.

                    Some pictures of GHOST BOX 3 that I posted on Twitter a few days ago:

                      Hingston & Olsen, the publisher of the GHOST BOX sets, published last year, in 2019, a small, signed and numbered, 64-page non-fiction hardcover, FEAR ON THE FAMILY FARM.

                      I’m interested in snagging a copy of this now sold-out book...if you have a copy and are interested in selling it, please let me know.

                        New box set of separate chapbooks just announced:

                        Projections is an anthology of 12 individually bound sci-fi stories that in some way predicted life in the present day. Edited and introduced by renowned rare-book dealer Rebecca Romney, these pieces are gathered from across the genre’s rich, diverse history. Collectively, they help illuminate both past and present alike.

                        $45 (Canadian) for the standard, $100 (Canadian) for the signed/numbered set with raised ink.

                        https://www.hingstonandolsen.com/store

                        Looks intriguing, but I plan to pass...not really a sci-fi fan, save for a few exceptions, and several of the chapbooks are excerpts of longer works, which doesn't typically thrill me. Still, if sci-fi is your thing, this looks like an interesting, well-curated and -produced set. H&O does nice work.

                          Opting to pass for two reasons. Not big on sci fi and several of the chaps are excerpts form longer stories. Looks cool though.

                              I somehow read right over your mentioning of the excerpts.
