Dreamlike States by Brian James Freeman
Horror Drive-In featuring Brian James Freeman, Ronald Malfi, Norman Prentiss, Bill Pronzini, Harry Shannon and Mark Sieber
The first two are trade hardcovers. I think I got an outstanding price for this lot of 4 CD books-very, very affordable and I especially liked getting the signed Brian James Freeman Dreamlike States.

I've become a big fan of these smaller books like Weed Species by Jack Ketchum, Isis by Douglas Clegg, Wild Things: Four Tales by Douglas Clegg. I like some of the itty bitty novellas from Darkfuse-especially the ones by Christopher Fulbright and Angeline Hawkes. All of these books to me are cool or special and keepers for sure.

Just received the 2nd volume of the projected five book Seabury Quinn, The Complete Tales of Jules De Grandin series, by Night Shade Books. I haven't had a chance to read either book, Horror on the Links and The Devil's Rosary, but the production values look good, the cover art is really nice. My only complaint, and I know this doesn't or won't matter to some people, is that both volumes have the same introduction. I know lots of folks don't read intros, indeed, I read an article once that claimed intros are a waste of time for those that write them and those that take the time to read them. I disagree, but that's another forum entry LOL!! I think highlighting the career of Seabury Quin, WWI Vet and mainstay of Werid Tales for nearly 30 years, is a worthy project for Nightshade and I hope they fulfill the promise of the first two books. The second Volume does have a secondndary intro or maybe an Essay by Stefan Dziemianowicz, "Loved By Thousands of Readers: The Popularity of Jules de Grandin. If you haven't seen these books, I would recommend them.

I'm collecting this Quinn series as well, though I haven't yet picked up the second volume that just came out. But I will. :-) I agree with you regarding the production quality of the books...they are truly handsome volumes.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

Oh yes, I have the slipcased, hardcover set they did of Wellman's fiction. A beautiful set.
I did, however, skip the set they did of Hodgson's fiction. I've always kind of regretted that, though.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

I've been debating about the Bernard Taylor books. I really should just pull the trigger. I find that with Centipede Press, I wind up passing more than buying and almost always tend to regret it.

I'm very much looking forward to reading them...this'll actually be my first time reading Taylor, as he was one of those authors that I never read back in the day, even though I saw his paperbacks at the used bookstores all the time. If he's half as good as Charles L. Grant, et al make him out to be, these books should be overdue treats.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton
