Happy holidays everyone! Quiet times in Koontz collecting land. The UK trade paperback of Elsewhere is now out and Dean sent out a new “From the Desk of Dean” this past week. Both are linked to below.

I’m posting this update early today as I’ve got some other important day-job related things that need to be dealt with today. However, what’s here include two big ones. Enjoy and thanks for your continued support!

Just one new item today but, to me at least, it’s a big one. (I was expecting another item in today’s mail but alas, it was delayed.)

Previews, interviews, videos, and inscriptions. A big of a random set of new items today but more than I’ve been posting lately.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. Really not much else to say other than here’s two new items for your reference (and possible ordering pleasure.)

Another small update but I’ve also got a line on some unique items. Neither will show up soon or maybe not at all but it’s too early to tell.

The other writing project was submitted to the editor so other than what will most likely be a final post-edit read-through that’s done so I was able to get back to this “little’ project.

There’s just two new items this week but the first one’s a previously unknown find.

I’ve got a big ol’ goose egg for you this week. As I mentioned last time around, I had to focus on a writing project this week.

Yes folks it’s Elsewhere week. Oh, and two reviews from 1974.

Biggest news is the page for the forthcoming The Other Emily. Else I’m digging into the pile sitting to my left. The rest of this week’s updates are the start of it. Sticking to the pile, more Fanzine letters are up next.

I’m back from vacation and starting to get back into the groove of things. A new email newsletter and a new issue of Useless News helped.

Another great addition to the collection this week. A near mint copy of Energumen #8 containing “that essay.” I’d previously had a very clean PDF version, but having an original in the collection is something I’ve been hoping to accomplish for decades.

While I’ve got you here, I’d like to give you a heads-up that I’ve got a vacation coming up so please don’t expect any updates for the next two weeks. I might sneak one in, but no promises.

There are just a handful of “holy grails” when it comes to items I’m still looking for. Sure there are a bunch of items I could just spend more than I’d like to on this afternoon, but then there are others that I’ve just never, or only once before, seen for sale. Well, this week I got to check one of them off my list: The Drowned Man’s Reel by Charles de Lint with an introduction by Dean.

Previously I’d known that the National Library in Quebuec had one but accessing it was basically impossible. I’d seen a record of another one having been sold previously on eBay but that was well before I knew to look for it. But now, one of just the 100 released (not sold, but given away privately,) is in my hands. And it’s inscribed to the, I assume, original owner by Mr. de Lint.

So, not a lot of new content this week, but one of them’s a doozy!

What’s new & updated this week? Nothing. Other projects took priority this past week. However, I’m taking some time off this week so there should be a bunch of new items to announce next Monday.

Keeping it simple with some odds & ends this week along with a new entry for “From the Desk of Dean.”

The Duke collection is done along with some other great fanzine issues. Which, has caused a cascade of new purchases leading to new forthcoming entries since, in the case of the Stuff entry, I’ve found more reviews that need to be added to the site. As those items start to arrive, I’ll of course get those entries created.

And, since the Duke material was both broken up into multiple updates, and some of the material didn’t merit their own entries, I did create this post which lists all of the items in the collection.

Four of the six letters from the Locus Science Fiction Foundation Archives are now up along with three new “From the Desk of Dean” columns. I was hoping to finish off the letters and get two other new surprises into this week but I just ran out of time. So, I’ll just tease them for next week.
