Myshkin Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'd post my top fives, but it would basically be a copy/paste of Henderson's post. He pretty much nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Never have I internet-dashed so quickly over to Amazon. Never fear. Crepier is real! Though I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of reviews and struggling to avoid cynicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Too bad your dream wasn't to be an accountant and black market financier-- you could have gone with Crepier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Haha, this is my favorite part: Publisher: R.D. Henderson Fantasy Stories (April 12, 2015) Doesn't Stanek also have his own "Publisher?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Closing because we already have threads on favorite novels, series, and characters. A thread on all 3 is redundant. Please use the search function and read the stickied threads. You'll find that if you do so, your posts will warrant fewer snarky responses from people in this part of the forum. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
