Random thoughts...

I ordered The Vampire Stories of Robert Bloch from Haffner on 01/05/20. I thought about ordering the limited edition at the time, but three years later I'm glad I didn't. It says it will be signed by all living contributors. There may not be many of those left by the time they get around to printing it.

I'm sure looking forward to that one, too (though did not pre-order it). I'm not sure if I need the John the Balladeer or not...need to check my 5 (6?)-volume Night Shade set of Wellman's work and see if those particular stories were included...I just can't remember.

Random question, but, has anyone here ever purchased anything directly from Haffner Press? In May 2021, I pre-ordered "The Complete John the Balladeer" from them. I've been trying to contact them over the last few months to see if they have any sort of production update on the title; however, I cannot get anyone over there to respond back to me. Per the contact page of their website, I have sent multiple emails to [email protected] with no luck. I also don't have a Facebook or Twitter account to be able to reach them that way and am super-resistant to having to create one to do so. Might anyone here have an update on this title or an alternative way to contact them? Any info is appreciated!

Just noticed that Haffner has finally posted a shipping date for "The Complete John the Balladeer", 05/15/23!  Am so excited.  This was my first ever order from Haffner and I haven't had the best experience; so, I'm relieved that there's finally light at the end of the tunnel.  In the future, much like RonClinton suggested in a previous post, I will be waiting until publication day before ordering a Haffner title.  That being said, the cover/book images provided by Haffner look amazing and I'm really digging all the bonus content to be included.

I only occasionally lurk the TDT forum so I didn’t know Bill, but my condolences to you both—and to Bill’s other loved ones—on your loss.

I miss him as well. I don't visit Jerome and Patrick's site these days but did sneak in yesterday and saw of his passing. It hit me pretty hard. RIP, Bill.

My wife and I go way back with Bill and Sue. My dear friend is missed for sure.

I wanted to post over to give my condolences for the loss of Bill Bender AKA Merlin. He was my first friend on TDT forum and always treated me with respect and kindness. May He Rest in Peace.

I know that they are currently shipping their Charles Beaumont collection. Maybe it's that!

I just pre-ordered their new Tom Reamy collection and am super excited for it. Really enjoyed his novel Blind Voices and have been wanting to read his OOP short-story collection ever since. Now, I can as it has been collected together along with all his unpublished stuff.

Just received a shipping notification from Sub Press. No idea what I ordered so this one will be a treat. Kind of excited to see what it is. LOL.

Anyone have any luck recently in purchasing a floor lamp that has good light for reading? Having trouble finding a good one. They either are dim or like a spotlight.

Everybody have a great New year! Hope you find lots interesting Books, have lots of exciting adventures and do lots of good deeds!
