Lucian Poll's Collection

[Joe315]

Nice collection. The dust jacket error is neat.

For pictures you can use a site like photobucket and link the pictures from there if you don't want to use your blog. They no longer have a maximum limit on uploads for free users.

Hope to see more!

...and even happier when he signed my copy:



(Just for the record, as you can infer from the photo, Lucian Poll is a pseudonym. (What, on the internet?!? No way!) When I heard long ago that Shaun Hutson wrote under a number of different pseudonyms (and still does) to serve different markets I thought that was a pretty cool idea. Of course I couldn't hope to sell anywhere near his numbers, but I liked the idea all the same. So Lucian Poll is my means of working out my nastier story ideas.)

Here is the first book in the Bryant & May series, penned by prolific UK horror author Christopher Fowler. I notice the US editions of these books have very different covers!



As I mentioned in the "What Are You Reading" thread, the sleeve of this hardback is incorrect. The shot is a little blurry but the character on the left, May, is holding a smoking pipe. However in the books it is the other character, Bryant, that smokes. (You can, of course, see the correct cover on Amazon.) According to the author the mistake was spotted early in the printing process but not before a couple of hundred copies had already been shipped. Whether the story is true or apocryphal, I was quite pleased to find my copy was one of them.

My Grave Tales...



Sadly I never received issues 3 and 4.

I still maintain that the cover for issue 6 is my favourite across all my issues of CD and GT. Wonderfully twisted!

My copy of Cemetery Dance issue 57 also contains this unfortunate stitching error:



Does this make it even more collectable?!

Evening all. I must still be on a probationary period as I can't upload attachments direct to the forum. Nil desperandum, KBO and all that. Here are those snaps I took a while ago. I've uploaded them to my blog so with a bit of luck I can link to them here.



So here are my Cemetery Dance mags going back to 2002. Despite this photo being saved as portrait WordPress has decided to rotate it to landscape and refuses all attempts to rotate it back to normal. Sigh.
