Nice adds, Martin! Love the display cases.

Thanks, my next thing will be to replace the oak case with a wrap around of the new cases. I want them all to have glass doors.

[mhatchett]

Excellent!!

Nice additions Martin! I also received the Ghost Box and Damnation game. Both are stellar productions!

[Martin]

Thanks guys!

My copy of Damnation Game should be here today. The book looks beautiful.

You will love it. Another Beautiful production.

It should go nicely with the gift and limited editions of Weaveworld.

Nice Barker adds. I haven't been into Barker for quite some time, but he used to be a favorite, and for my money THE BOOKS OF BLOOD are a seminal set, and I was very pleased to be able to snag the Subterranean slipcased set that came out a while back. I still have an inscribed-to-me Stealth Press HC as well, but the Sub Press set is the one I display.

I love my set of The Books of Blood from sub. press. I also have a copy of The Great and Secret Show . Still waiting for The Damnation Game. Hopefully tomorrow. I need to post in my collection thread. It's been awhile. I am looking forward to the release of Everville. The only other Barker book I would love but is high priced now is The Thief of Always. One of my favorite books ever.

I may have to bump my my first Barker read up on the TBR list.

I think it has been a few months since I posted my Nocturnal Reader's Box.

January was probably the weakest of the trinkets since I have subscribed. Not bad items just not really my thing.

I will start with the Rosemary's Baby themed sock's.

Interesting but I will not wear them. I will see if my niece wants them.

Edgar Allen Poe coasters (2):
P1370484.jpg
Would like them better if they were just a Poe image. The Poe zombie thing does not work for me.

Edgar Allen Poe/Cat/Bat pin:
P1370485.jpg
To esoteric for me.

Otto's Pet Resort keychain:
P1370486.jpg
Do not know the story so have no context.

Bates Motel refrigerator magnet:
P1370487.jpg
I should love this one but it feels a little to cartoony for me.

Two bookmarks:

Can never have too many bookmarks and the cannibal recipe is unique.

More January Nocturnal Reader's Box:

Art Inspired by Swan Song:
P1370489.jpg
I have not read the story, have actually been on the fence about reading it. I love this art print and it is helping push me of the fence towards reading it. One of the better art prints I have seen from this subscription.

The thing that keeps me subscribed are the books. Vincent and Jessica do a great job of finding new and old books that intrigue me and interest me to authors I am not familiar with:

Cemetery Dance Issue #76:

P1370492.jpg

A return to the single issue. Some great art to go with the stories although I have not begun reading them yet.

Lost and Lonely from Brian James Freeman:

Just starting this but if Brian's past work is any indication it will be a dark and wonderful ride!

I while back I contributed to a crowd sourcing effort to keep a classis video store here in Portland open. This store is a great resource that I appreciate living within driving distance to and am happy to say it will remain open.

I received a pin set for my contribution:
