SubPress has finally listed Jeff Vandermeer's "Ambergris" on their pre-orders page. I could not be more excited about this one and ordered a copy immediately. These are some of my absolute favorite weird fiction/fantasy stories/novels and am so glad to seem them collected like this. This set may seem a little pricey at first, but considering what is included, it is actually a great deal. Can't imagine that this one won't sell out quickly once it is officially announced. Figured I would let the forum know so that no one misses out on the opportunity to own these fantastic stories!

Yes, we seem to be a minority of two...others just seem to love this series, and while I guess I can objectively understand why, the subjective experience of reading them fell short for me.

Yea, I keep trying to find someone to read between Scalzi novels. I will probably give up and re-read the entire Old Man's War series.

From what I can tell my views on Murderbot is in the minority. I actually read the first two novellas. May or may not bother with any more. I am not really a Sci Fi fan unless it is from Scalzi. Then I am an absolute fanatic!

I really enjoyed the Murderbot novellas - the novel was a chore to read. Not sure if the premise got stale after five novellas, or maybe Muderbot is only good in 125 page doses.

Regardless, I bought the second book from SubPress. Maybe I can just sell them once I have them. Who am I kidding - I don't sell books. I barely can trade them.

Same. I just wish I'd enjoyed the book more. I finished it a few nights ago...it was my first exposure to the character and stories. I had picked up the book as a kind of impulse buy, after several enthusiastic recommendations from folks whose opinions I trusted and who likened it to John Scalzi's work. I didn't dislike it, mind you, and found portions of it generally entertaining, but it did not live up to my expectations by any measure. I've also pre-ordered the limited of the novel (done before I'd finished DIARIES and my hopes were still high), but can't say I'm anticipating that one to any great degree. Really unfortunate, but sometimes gambles pay off, and sometimes they don't. I'll at least have a matching-number set of the two Sub Press volumes that should do okay on the aftermarket, should I decide to sell.

I picked this up on Audible long ago as the description sounded like it could be a Scalzi like story. Found it mediocre.

Noticed that Camelot Books has a limited edition copy of The Murderbot Diaries listed for sale at $695.00. Am completely blown away and am glad I picked up my copy from SubPress at the original price.

SubPress currently has their next Murderbot book, Network Effect, up for pre-order for those who purchased the previous one, The Murderbot Diaries. It is a little pricey, but, considering how fast Murderbot Diaries sold out, you may want to sang a copy now before it is opened-up to the general public. Just picked up my copy!

I'm glad I waited on this, This is a good deal that is still available guys. https://subterraneanpress.com/best-o...marshall-smith

Camelot and can’t wait to dig in.

Anybody pull the trigger on THE BEST OF DARK TERRORS? I don’t buy a lot from Sub Press, but I’m pretty tempted. I did wind up ordering a copy of Kiernan’s THE VARIEGATED ALPHABET before it sold out, which I’m excited for.

Yep, I ordered Dark Terrors. I don't have any of the original volumes, so I'm all over this one!
