Whats New & Updates August 6, 2018

August 6, 2018

Due to multiple appointments this week and an overly rough week at the office, I’m back to a bunch of odds & ends this week.

• The Crooked Staircase related items & other editions
• Dark Rivers of the Heart lettered edition photo
• The Horror Express #3 to Appendix G: Ephemera
• The Night Window (first cover image)
• Lightning lettered edition photo

Special shout outs to Noah Mitchell for the photo of his copy of the lettered Charnel House edition of Dark Rivers of the Heart and to David Teal for giving me such a wonderful deal on the lettered Lightning I posted last week.

The Night Window release date

August 6, 2018

According to The Real Book Spy, the release date for the fifth Jane Hawk novel, The Night Window is 14 March 2019. I have yet to confirm this via any other source. They’ve also posted the first image of the cover art that I’ve seen so far.

Icebound audiobooks coming out next week

August 5, 2018

Sorry for the lack of a lot of advance notice, but on Tuesday 7 August 2018 Icebound will be release in both CD and MP3-CD audiobook formats.

The Forbidden Door pre-signed copies up for pre-order

August 5, 2018

All pre-signed, but this time the ISBN situation is unclear as B&N and BAM are listing their copies under the same ISBN, while Target isn’t listing an ISBN on their site. Details to follow of course.

• Target (unknown ISBN)
• Books-a-Million (9781984817679)
• Barnes & Noble (9781984817679)

Oh so Harlan

August 2, 2018

Today I received what is my third copy of Harlan Ellison’s Mefisto in Onyx. Of which this is my second copy of the first printing of the trade edition. (Sadly, I’ve yet to add a limited edition to my collection.)

Why a second copy of this particular edition/printing you may ask? Well, it is an autographed by Mr. Ellison. So that’s cool.

But to be honest, I’ve got other signed Ellison’s in my collection so that wouldn’t have been enough to cause me to buy another copy. The real reason is what Harlan decided to do on the dedication page…

Looks like he decided to make an editorial correction. How cool is that?

One small but significant hole in my collection has been filled!

August 1, 2018

One of the 26 copies of the lettered edition of Lightning from Ultramarine Publishing is now safely ensconced in my collection. Copy P to be exact.
