I pre-ordered Hunter's Run, and they sent me a signed The Lost Lansdale: Volume 3 (of which I am a huge fan), and a ARC of the first book in their Silverberg collection. edit: not bad for $50.

saint777 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The Blade Itself Winterbirth: These look fun in a gory dark violent way. Soon I Will Be Invincible: The blurb on this was funny. I don't care for superheros but this looks oddball enough for me. Crooked Little Vein: Stego sold me on this. Godzilla bukkake. I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
