Can't see book 3 for some reason, but man are those some killer endpapers on book one!

Yeah, something happened there. I think I got it fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!

Book 3 and 4 share the same type of endpapers so I only included a picture with Book 3.

Just received the last book in the Cal Wild Chronicles by Gene O'Neill so I figured it was time to post some pictures. Published by Thunderstorm, each book was limited to 65 signed copies. St. Zach is an expanded edition of the Bad Moon Edition, Burden of Indigo contains no new material that I am aware of, The Near Future and The Far Future collect all of the remaining Cal Wild stories.

"Evil is what we call the force we can discover when we send our minds as far as they can go: when the mind crumbles before something bigger, harder than itself, unknowable and hostile."

-Peter Straub, If You Could See Me Now

Just finished this morning. This was a fantastic read, great purchase!

Thanks! I'm hoping to revisit in the near future. Maybe I'll wait until I get the Centipede edition of Julia and do a Straub double-feature!

Newest Little Book arrived as well. I haven't read anything by Poppy Z. Brite, so I'm pretty excited about this one.

Nice! Interesting cover on the Conrad Williams. I think I've only read one story of his that was in a SubPress magazine, but it was better than the rest in the issue if memory serves.

My Top of the Volcano had the same small slip for the signature page. Makes me wonder if some sort of apparatus was used for the signings, but I'm just speculating. It's a beautiful book.

Good call on the Wagner books!

I haven't read anything by Williams yet so this will be my introduction. Definitely looking forward to it. Might wait until Halloween and do a book a week to get caught up on my Earthling Halloween books; I still haven't read Blood Red or Motherless Child. Hoping to track down a copy of The Haunted Forest Tour this year as well.

I kicked myself a long time for not jumping on the Wagner books when they were first offered. I'm very happy to have them on my shelves now!

Those are some fantastic additions! I really the Straub book - read the paperback.

I originally read it in paperback as well. A few years back if I remember correctly. I've wanted this edition for a while. I'm looking forward to their edition of Julia.
