Congratulations on the ARC!

Very nice adds, Martin! Jealous of the Strange Weather Arc! Can't wait to dive into that one. Although, with my commute these days, I'm more into audiobooks.
Some cool things you got in the box as well. I'm a huge fan of Jaws so love that of course. The pick of the litter there is definitely SOTL.

August Nocturnal Reader's Box
Theme: Infected & Infested
Pleased with my third Nocturnal Reader's Box (even though I did not get the bonus item, a Salems' Lot inspired postcard.)
First up is a "Captain Trips" hat inspired by The Stand:

Pretty cool item
"The Power of Coffee Compels You" mug inspired by The Exorcist:

Also a pretty cool item
A zombie head pin inspired by Patient zero:

I like the touch of using the book cover as the pin backboard.

August Nocturnal Reader's Box continued
Infected & Infested Bath Bomb by Fizzy Fairy Apothecary:
P1360827.jpg
A blood red bath bomb with a fun surprise in the middle. I am a shower guy so I will not use it and I would not expect my wife to use it out if fears it would be hard to remove the red from the tub.
I must admit that I like the smell of this. This next remark is sexist: It does smell rather masculine for a bath bomb. I think of bath bombs as a feminine product. I will probably leave it unwrapped in my den as I enjoy the scent.
"The Girl Who Never Killed Bugs" art print by Ally Burke:
P1360828.jpg
It is a cool print but I doubt I will display it.
The trinkets are hit and miss for me but were The Nocturnal Reader's Box holds my attention is their book Selection. This month is no exception with three books, two I already wanted (one signed) and one I had never heard of but am interested in. Yes this month they included three books.
First a book I wanted in signed paperback. "Mapping the Interior" by Stephen Graham Jones:
P1360829.jpg
Another I wanted but would not have bought for a while as the first book in the series currently sits in my TBR pile. "This Book is Full of Spiders" by David Wong:
P1360831.jpg
I have never heard of this book but am intrigued by it. "The Grip of It" by Jac Jemc:

August Nocturnal Reader's Box Continued

Bummed I did not get the Salems' Lot postcard but as it is not listed in the contents I can't be too bummed. I definitely got value from the box. And yes the Monster Mayhem preview states "August" in error as this was the August box and Monster Mayhem is Septembers box.

The good news is that this one does not add to my too be read pile as I have already read it. This one will go on the shelf for a future re-read. If you have not read this book I highly recommend it!
