Was at my local Half Price books this weekend and scored a couple cool books for $15.00 each, the Dark Harvest editions of Shadowfires & The Key to Midnight by Leigh Nicholls (Dean R Koontz). Was surprised to find these, especially in such great condition. The only (small) issue that I could find with each book was some discoloring of the paper from age. Have never read either title, but I was always a fan of early Koontz and have decent hopes for them. Have also always loved Dark Harvest books and miss them as a publisher. Even with their trade editions, they always seem to have great cover-art, as well as some interior illustrations, which you rarely get in trade editions anymore.

Glad you were able to snag some things! I noticed this morning that Jared increased the price on his remaining unsigned copies of Tokyo Doll from $20 to $30; so, the deal feels even better!

Man, you just made my day! I had no idea that the Cutter book was coming out and am a big fan of the author. Looks like the books is released August 27, 2024. Just added it to my pre-order list. Now if I could just track down a hardcover copy of Cutter's "The Acolyte somewhere I'd be a happy camper!
In terms of the Malfi, I personally would pass unless it gets rave reviews. I've read a handful of his novels and just haven't been able to connect with them which makes me wonder if I ever will. Perhaps his style just isn't for me. It's kind of how I feel about Ramsey Campbell's stuff. The guys a freaking Grandmaster but for some reason his books always leave me flat. The writing is perfectly fine, they're just always missing that certain something that would push his stuff to "must read" for me, and I always feel a little guilty, like it must be a me thing.
Now it’s been several years since I’ve heard that.
As far as Campbell goes, your not alone in your assessment.
I could never understand his revered status in the horror fiction genre.
I tend to like his earlier stories, when his fiction leaned more to the Lovecraftian, but as for as the psychological horror fiction he’s been writing for the last 30+ years, as far as I’m concerned, if you’ve read one, you’ve read them all.
And the one wasn’t that good to begin with!
I have similar feelings for the fiction of Dennis Etchison.
Very highly regarded in the horror fiction community, but what I’ve read of his stuff, it just does absolutely nothing for me as a reader.
