slayn666's Collection

[slayn666]

I "bought" this several months ago, but my wife has been holding on to it until I passed my PG exam. I found out Thursday that I did, so I finally got to claim this set.









This set matches my number for the DarkFuse book club, which is extremely lucky on my part since I didn't order it during the preorder phase about a year ago and it was coincidence that one of the few sets the publisher had left when he opened it up to the public last month was my number.

Latest DarkFuse titles:



The ARC of Ghost of Punktown I got with my DRP grab bag (but forgot to post) and the UK edition of Annihilation:

In retrospect I shouldn't have expected a whole lot from the grab bag; I own a large number of DRP titles and the remaining titles I'm interested in are few and far between.

I had two real problems with the whole experience. First, at the level I ordered (the biggest one), the product description said it'd include a book from another publisher with a retail value of at least $40. The book I got was Menace by Gary Fry, which a) I already own and b) retails for $37.50. I know it's a small price difference, and it probably wouldn't have fazed me had I not already owned the book, but as things stand it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Second, I ordered another book separate from the grab bag (The Universal and Other Terrors by Tony Richards) and it wasn't sent to me. It wasn't sent because they'd sold their last copy on eBay the previous week, which is fine, but they didn't offer this information to me and just kept my money until I emailed them about it. (In their defense, they did have the a copy of the lettered edition they offered to sell to me at a discount once I pointed out I was short a book.)

One things with DRP (especially re: grab bag), is that they sure have a lot of titles I would really love to own, yet they also have many that I don't care much for at all - I have yet to get a DRP grab bag because of this.

Books from my Dark Regions grab bag.







To be honest, I wasn't terribly pleased with this and will probably not buy any grab bags from DRP in the future. The books in that last photo are actually for sale if anyone is interested (I plan on tossing them up on eBay later in the week). I'm not really looking to get a lot out of them, so PM me if intersted.

Nice adds.

You mean The Fell Sword? It was released by Anderida Books, but it looks like they're out of stock.

Thanks, found one on ABE. probably overpaid a bit, but worth it to have both of them in hardback. I heard Tor might release an American hardback edition later. I didn't see an announcement anywhere, well thanks for the heads up.
