    I still regret not getting the Ghost Box sets, but shipping from Canada to Australia was more than the books.

    I somehow read right over your mentioning of the excerpts.

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

Collectively, they help illuminate both past and present alike.

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

Still, if sci-fi is your thing, this looks like an interesting, well-curated and -produced set. H&O does nice work.

    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.

    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.

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

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 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.

    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.
