Oh that's awesome. Did you get Hill House as well?
Hopefully he swings by here next year.
No, did not like the story well enough to buy the limited. Had they been able to offer a gift edition I would have considered it.
Hopefully he'll stop here on the way out to see you.
Hopefully so. If you haven't been to one his appearances area blast. He has stopped at Powell's in Portland for each nationwide tour. For Strange Weather he never left the North East. So there is hope.
I'd love to meet Joe Lansdale. But he only goes where the weather is agreeable, the taxes are reasonable, and you won't get shot in the face. Thus, no CHICAGOLAND. Also, almost everything I have from him is signed. So he's like Joe Hill?
I'd love to meet Josh Malerman too. And Robert McCammon.
McCammon is on my bucket list, along with Stephen R. Donaldson.
I FINALLY got to meet Lansdale a year (two now?) ago - he was at two Seattle area book stores, but I wasn't able to go to both. He will sign anything and everything - with the exception of ARCs. I tried to play it easy and only bring a limited number of books - I may have limited myself to 15? I did win the raffle for a DVD copy of the first season of Hap & Leonard - AND I snagged the giant book cover sign too since no one else seemed to have wanted it.
It was a fun evening (I believe Ron was behind me in line?) and I'd love to see him again.
I'd also love to meet McCammon too.
I'm not sure that he's ever made an appearance near me. At least within driving distance. I've heard/read that he'll sign lots of stuff outside of the current book he's promoting. While most of his stuff is signed that I have, I'd love to have my comic collection signed. That would literally take days though. Maybe I could just follow him around on tour. I'll start a GoFundMe campaign so you guys can help out
If you get the chance you need to go to one of his appearances. They are a blast and he will sign whatever item you have if it relates to him in anyway. I had him sign my NOS4A2 mugs and my Cemetery Dance book bag. The only thing he asks is that if you are getting more than three things signed to please wait until those with three and under are taken care of. Almost forgot, he also signed my Creepshow DVD box but he signed it as JHK.I'm not sure that he's ever made an appearance near me. At least within driving distance.

My Suntup Horns ARC is scheduled for delivery today. Merry Christmas to me!
Received my ARC earlier today and just finished reading Mr. Hills new introduction. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the info, Martin. There are only a few books that I have that don't have his signature so I'd have the pick which comics and magazines that I'd want him to sign. Definitely more than three of those. Probably best if he would just come out to my pickup lol.
Congrats again on the ARC. Looking forward to reading that intro come summer.
