Latest Acquisitions

I originally passed on THE WASHINGTONIANS, but the recent 50% off sale convinced me to pick up a copy, and I'm glad that I did. A beautiful oversized HC, it looks amazing.

Man, this thread was derailed!! I wanna know what kind of cool stuff people have been getting, LOL!

Since I contributed to the derailing I will help get things back on track. My two most recent acquisitions have been The Washingtonians with the chap book from Cemetery Dance and Misery Limited from Suntup Editions. The Washingtonians is a very nice addition and Misery is beyond anything I can describe!

I think Gauntlet did a limited of Shadowland.

Indeed they did. I haven't hunted a copy of this down because it's not quite to my taste art-wise, and usually is being sold for more than I'd like to spend (especially given that I'm not wild about it). I'd love for someone else to do another special edition - CD, CP, Suntup, anyone.

To provide some calm context, while King is my favorite writer, Shadowland is my favorite standalone novel by anyone other than It.

That is some high praise. And I am now completely and officially intrigued. I've heard lots of good things about it previously. Usually it's Ghost Story, Julia, and Shadowland that people rave about. I really liked Ghost Story, but I passed on Julia from Centipede Press and I haven't jumped into Floating Dragon even though I got the CD edition in a forthcoming book bundle years ago.

Hmm, Straub talk. Looks like it's once again time for my gratuitous Straub message:

If you haven't read Shadowland...

READ SHADOWLAND NOW!!! JUST DO IT!!

I second this. Might be my favorite Straub although it's been years since I've read it.

Dan, I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate how well you manage this board. Without you leadership on here I am sure I would have walked away long ago.
THANKS!

Thanks. I try. It helps that we're a relatively small community. If there were hundreds of active posters it'd be a completely different story, though then I'd probably need a moderator team.

I've only read Ghost Story. Of course. I tried to read Koko and for some reason didn't finish. It was so long ago I don't know why I stopped.

I have never read that one. I may have to give it a try.

The CD forums stay drama free, because I never liked message board drama and do my best to put my foot down quickly when something pops up. Luckily I've only had to do it a handful of times.

I'm actually surprised to hear that. And I'm grateful for it. It makes all the difference.
