Woohoo! Going to go to the McCammon reading and signing event this coming Saturday the 28th. I am really looking forward to it.

Brian Keene wrote some nice things about him in his newsletter.

I saw that. It was nice to read the kind words Keene wrote.

I know we don't really discuss comic books on this forum, but I am really bummed to hear that writer/artist Keith Giffen passed away yesterday. As far as comics go, he was easily in my top 5 favorite comic creators. Some people talk about Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman and Frank Miller, and, yes, their works were favorites of mine, but Giffen was a perennial favorite. I just bought the rest of his run of Justice League from the late 80s that I was missing and I plan on doing a full readthrough.

Awesome deal. Thank you for pointing it out. Hopefully it will still be on sale when I have enough to get free shipping.

Not sure how long it will last, but Amazon currently has New Hardcover copies of Ross Jeffery's "The Devil's Pocketbook" on sale at $7.53 from $35.00. This is a smoking deal! Ross is a fantastic horror author, and this book has gotten tons of buzz this year. Can't wait to finally give this a read, especially at that pricepoint!Â

Thanks for the heads up on this!

I didn’t spring for the signed limited, but did pick up a hardcover trade edition.

I remember reading this when I was 13 or 14, after just having seen the original movie on cable.

You're welcome! I ended up snagging a trade copy as well. I don't usually purchase novelizations, but since this movie is an all-time fav, I figured why not!

Thanks for the heads up! It was 8.09 when I looked but that is still a bargain, ordered!

Always glad to help someone spend their book money!

Anyone else see that Printed in Blood is doing a limited edition of the official novelization of John Carpenter’s Halloween? Just saw it and wish I could swing it but it's a bit too pricey for me at the moment, which is a bummer as I love this movie (who doesn't?)!!!

Just pre-ordered my copy of "Becoming the Boogeyman" from Amazon. CD/Rich's latest deal finally knocked me off of the fence (free exclusive BECOMING THE BOOGEYMAN slipcase featuring a built-in genuine burlap mask, if ordered between September 25-29).

I need to go pick up a copy of Holly. I've really been slacking on keeping up with SK anymore.

Just got my copy today! Not sure when I will get around to reading it as I currently have a gigantic TBR stack going.
