Just finished reading the SST signed slipcased LE of Stephen Graham Jones' "Don't Fear the Reaper", the second book in his Indian River trilogy and a first time read for me. Totally loved it! It was exactly what I was hoping for, and in fact, I think I like it even more than the first book, which is a bit rare for trilogies. Jade, and really, all of the characters are fully fleshed out and amazing. The who-done-it aspect kept me guessing the whole time, and the slasher and other horror references were loads of fun. Also really liked the ending, Jade doing her best Bender with that hook had me both moved and totally cracking-up. Also, as always, SST knocked it out of the park in terms of production values. That cover artwork rocks! I also opted for the optional slipcase which added another layer of awesomeness to the production. Overall, I can't recommend this trilogy of books enough, especially if you're lucky enough to snag the SST LEs.

Am now reading the Lividian slipcased LE of Robert McCammon's "Seven Shades of Evil". I am so excited to be starting this book!

Been there before. LOL.

I won't name names but I had picked up several books from an author I had never read. Upon finally sitting down and reading one of his works I realized I didn't like the writing style at all.

You know, due to praise on this forum, I bought The Chalk Man through Camelot Books years ago and still have not read it. Due to the ease of doing business with Camelot and, maybe general passivity on my part, I have somehow wound up with a matching numbered set of all of Tudor's Sub Press books, with A Sliver of Darkness just finding its place on the shelf last week. I really need to kick my reading into a higher gear to get caught up on this stuff. Or, you know, at least determine if I like an author before purchasing five limited editions of their work...

Thanks for the heads-up. Heller has few fans more ardent than me, and this blurb just sealed the deal…plan to pick this up very, very soon:
“Perfect for fans of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.”

Good luck. I hope you like it.
