Nice haul. December Park is one of the best books I read last year. Cannibal Sisters is a fun read and you are right about Smoke and Mirrors it is a HUGE HUGE HUGE book.Originally posted by frik51 View PostToday I received mine - it's from the final 2015 grab bags:
*Cannibal Sisters - signed, Douglas Clegg
*Carrie - PS (already had it)
*Turn Down the Lights - trade
*Pork Pie Hat - trade, Peter Straub
*World War Z - signed limited, Max Brooks
*The Straw Men - signed limited, Michael Marshall
*December Park - signed limited, Ronald Malfi (had it already)
*Smoke and Mirrors - signed limited edition (WOW!)
The only drawback was the very high shipping costs.
But I love the books!

Thanks, Dan. I don't really mind the doubles. I can easily sell Carrie here (I mean, where I live) and recoup more than half of my grab-bag costs.
Or make someone happy on his birthday...

Everything I've read by Mick can be described as "a weird tale and I really enjoyed it."

Out of the six books, two I already own, and three of the books I've never read anything by that author before.
I received:
Sides by Peter Straub - not signed. I've only read the two books he co-wrote with Stephen King. Guess that this is a collection of non-fiction essays?
Tyer's Third Act by Mick Garris - signed and numbered as PC - but apparently used to be #126. Don't know what this is, but the cover looks familiar.
Dinner with the Cannibal Sisters by Douglass Clegg - signed - no number.
The Prophet by Michael Koryta - signed and numbered as PC. Another one that looks familiar but know nothing about it.
A Simple Plan by Scott Smith - signed and numbered as PC. The first of the two that I own. LOVE LOVE this book and hoping that this will make a great gift for someone later on.
The Straw Men by Michael Marshall - signed and numbered as PC. The other one that I read. Probably another one that I'll end up gifting.
All in all I'm satisfied. I had no idea what to expect so I got exactly what I expected - all surprised. At the very least, I'll read four new authors. And all for at least 75% off retail, right?
Or maybe we can all get together and work out a trade or something? I'm intrigued by this Bentley Little guy . . .

The Tyler's Third Act was either a miss numbered book we crossed off and PC'd or a damaged book we PC'd and sent a replacement for.
